Hmm - sounds to me like your boss is a coward

I got my instructions. I asked if we could transfer him or put him on unpaid leave for punishment. Not an option.
Your boss made the decision and made you give him the bad news when you wanted something less severe?
Inappropriate in my book. The person who does the firing should be the decision maker. Period. Anything else is sloughing off an unpleasant duty onto someone else. That makes it too easy to do. It's cowardly and dishonorable in my book.
Someone who did that to me would probably find my resignation on his desk shortly thereafter.
May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.

...does that matter if he didn't do his job, and that had negative consequences for the company? *NM*

I agree. Companies aren't charities.

So you're against maternity pay?

Where I work you have to use your sick leave and annual leave to cover maternity leave.

That's why it's an employer and not a social worker...

It takes a special person to be a supervisor/manager.
