Write-ups
In a hypothetical case, a worker refused to do his job, for instance refused to open a new register. Would it be ‘illegal’ to write him up immediately or is the procedure to first give him a warning, and only then, if he still refuses to do his job, penalize him?!
Although it’s not illegal to write them up, from my own experience a warning almost always gives better results..

Writing him up immediately is totally unnecessary and inhumane, and when I think about it better such a Walmart thing to do xD
