abc Corp. has made the decision to terminate its long-term, Senior Vice President of Operations, Timothy Jones.According to ABC's President, Sally Reynolds, Tim has been struggling with depression and she suspects he may also have been drinking heavily during non-work hours (based on several instances of work absences).These issues have negatively impacted Tim's performance to such a degree that Sally no longer feels comfortable continuing to work with him.
