Is it fair for a General Manager to impose unilateral social norms in a multicultural workplace?

Question

In Amercan society, where people from all kinds of cultures and backgrounds work in a corporate structure, is it fair for the top leader of the location of business to make unilateral decisions about what is appropriate and what is inappropriate without giving an opportunity to the affected party a chance to discuss the details?

Of course it is understood that she/he is expected to act in the best interest of her/his team and the company she/he works for.
Shouldn't a non-american green card holder be given an opportunity to discuss and rebut the details before getting fired from his job?

Answer 1

At any office, there are two rules...
1) The boss is always right....
2) When in doubt, refer to rule no.1

Answer 2

employers often impose specific rules for the safety and general welfare of all the employees. some may appear to be discriminatory, improper, or even blatantly illegal. but some are put into place just to make the boss feel he is in charge. some states, whether we like itor not, are called right to workstates because the business community doesn't want to be held accountable for firing employees for no good reason. one of those states is texas.
unions, the greatest impediment to business excesses in employment, have little power to prevent firing of employees if the company decides to do so, but only the union members are in any position to get help in such cases. non-union mebers have no protection at all and there is little they can do to keep their job.
nnot knowing the specifics all i can say to you is to seek nformation on what your state laws permit in the employment field, and whether you may have some recourse.

My grandparents came here, learned the language and culture, changed our names to be Americanized, and learned to fit in. That is America, not the Tower of Babel.
