At age 42 years Clive Bailey signed a contract with Jamaica Broilers Company Limited and was employed as an engineer. This company is lacking in polices and Standard Operation Procedures. Mr. Bailey was immediately dismissed from his employment following a work email sent by Mr. Bailey which was deemed to be seriously offensive to people of Judaism faith. This incident caused serious damages to Jamaica Broilers Company Limited. Jamaica Broilers Company Limited failed to issue written warnings to Mr. Bailey, and had also failed to record the occurrence of previous incidents.
