DCD called about an hour after I sent the email. He profusely apologized for doing what he did, and while he did just do it to sneak up on DCB, he can see how it came across to my assistant and he stresses that it will never happen again. He also wanted her number so he could apologize to her.
Wasn't about to give him her number for multiple reasons, but I told him I'd pass along the message and let her know. He seemed genuine enough, but nobody gets my assistants numbers.
Just to note: I wasn't "threatening" him with termination. I "warned" him that this could be classified as disrespect and THAT was grounds for termination. I could care less if he was trying to sneak up on his kid, but anything less than complete and utter respect for either of my assistants ruffles my feathers big time.
I can easily replace a family. I CANNOT easily replace an assistant as great as my two. I chose to back up my assistant and it paid off well
