Yep. This would never ever be an email. It’ll be a in-person meeting.

Why? It leaves a paper trial, and it’s written too “smart”.

I have broken some HR policies before - real stupid ones (like using the bathroom too much or something ridiculous) and had “the meeting”.

But when I ask them to give me a written version of the issues after the meeting, it’s always vague and points to line items in the handbook.
