Sleepy Dwarf worked for Skinny's Food Market, where work began at 8:30 A.M. Skinny's had recently passed out an Employee Handbook to its workers, stating people would only be fired for good cause. Sleepy, who had worked at Skinny's for 10 years, comes to work every day about 5 minutes late. Last year he won "Employee of the Month" 3 times, which entitled him to a special parking spot on the lot. Skinny's hired a new manager, who made comments to the effect he did not like Sleepy's constant yawning and found him annoying. He fired Sleepy, stating his lateness would not be tolerated under his leadership. Can the new manager do this without any fear of legal consequences?
