A summer law intern at the white-shoe firm Sidley Austin got fired for biting other people. It’s weird enough that she bit someone, but apparently, she bit at least five people and possibly others.
She shouldn’t have bitten anyone, and she should have been disciplined and told, in no uncertain terms, that this was unacceptable behavior after the first bite and fired after the second. (You could even talk me into termination after the first bite quite easily. The only reason I would hesitate is that if someone has made it this far in life and is still biting, other authority figures have allowed it to continue.)
I have dealt with a biter before, but my biter was two. And her day care didn’t give her five chances. We worked with her daycare teacher to find a solution, and I’m proud to say, she turns 22 next month and has not had a biting problem since.
