...Never mind Dora's eyes, why does Penelope have orange hair?

Yeah I noticed it big time. I almost wondered if it was Cosette for a second cause she's had bright orange hair like that in strips before.

Looking back made me miss the hair texture stuff Jeph used to do.

I don't know as much about workplace policy and liability when it comes to an employee being fired, but I feel like it is a good idea to tell the other employees why someone was fired. It helps establish clear consequences for certain behaviours, squelches rumors, and reassures the employees that they won't be fired without just cause.

It might be good for the work place, but it isn't good from a legal stand point... which is why most companies are completely silent on these types of matters.

What could happen, from a legal standpoint?

Sued for defamation of character.

Orkboy:
So, out of curiosity, who still mentally pronounces Penelope like antelope?

Defamation of Character is when the information is false. However Faye was fired for drinking on the job and is completely true.

huh, really? even if it is true? :edit: ninja'd by The Evil Dog

I could see a problem if Dora were telling people not involved, but other employees are directly affected by the situation and deserve to know what is going on. I could see an exception if, say, Faye had sexually assaulted someone and there would be an upcoming court case. But a court case seems unlikely here.
