RE:Landon Gray Employment Termination

Our client, Landon Gray, has been employed by the District Attorney's Office for the State of Anywhere for the last 22 years.He recently was fired for the unlawful sale of junk food at his workplace, and he visited with me this morning about his termination.

Landon is married and has three children, two them in college.His wife is the nutritionist for Pinefield Public Schools. His youngest daughter, Chloe, is in middle school. Chloe sold nearly 400 boxes of Girl Scout cookies this year, some of them to people in Landon's office.To help his daughter, Landon delivered boxes of Girl Scout cookies to coworkers from the trunk of his car over the lunch hour. His car was parked in the employee parking lot.

When James Oliver, Chief Deputy District Attorney, heard about the delivery of contraband cookies, he called Landon to his office immediately.Following a heated discussion, James fired Landon and ordered him to leave that very day.Mary Littleton helped Landon put his personal belongings into a small file box, and he left.

Earlier this year and in response to a World Health Organization study showing that one in every five Utopian workers is obese, the federal congress passed a number of statutes designed to limit workers' access to junk food while at work. The rationale was that obese people are less productive at work, miss work more often, and place a greater burden on the health care system. The congress then declared the workplace a "Sugar-and-Fat-Free Zone" and encouraged employers to establish zero tolerance policies for noncompliance.

Landon Gray is a very physically fit man who works out three or four times a week.None of the coworkers involved in this incident is obese, although several may be close to it.
