I would never have fired and have never fired someone who I overheard disrespecting me to others the first time. Doesn't mean I didn't get pissed, just really an invitation to reflect, isn't it?
Definitely a sit down discussion though. Setting boundaries, clear expectations on the behavior...
Firing someone for 'insubordination' IMHO frankly is a cop out for failed leadership.
Course I probably never would have hired that particular us vs. them value set in the first place.
