Mr. Julian chose not to fire his employee primarily because he believed that the employee, having been made aware that he was overheard, would likely exhibit improved behavior. This pragmatic decision stemmed from the expectation that the employee's actions would be more guarded and appropriate moving forward due to this newfound awareness.
He explained that while individuals like his employee might not undergo a fundamental change in character, the knowledge of being overheard could significantly influence their conduct. For Mr. Julian, the key was not necessarily to enforce a complete transformation, but rather to ensure a more desirable behavior in the workplace. He often emphasized that one should not allow the persistent nature of such individuals to hinder their own aspirations and success.
