But the question was about the CONSEQUENCE FOR BREAKING THE RULE. And I for one think firing for the OP example of one glass of wine “after hours” is disproportionate. Though lesser consequences make sense.
It would be absolutely absurd to fire someone for one glass of wine “after hours.”
It’s already near impossible to find people willing to chaperone. Teachers have to arrange their own childcare. Often they are leaving responsibilities at the school, so they have to make arrangements ahead of time to accommodate this absence. And, let’s not forget, they aren’t paid very well and these trips are 16 hour days.
So to come down hard on the angel doing so much already? Yeah, that’s too harsh.
