Bill Schule is definitely in his right place: he looks as a reliable and experienced manager, who is not going to back up and cover his eyes on the problem, but who would rather deal with the problem and eradicate it. I think Bill has a good point when he says that he needs to investigate more about the issue, to hear both sides of the story. Randall's visit looks a bit of "attack is the best defense," but Bill says he needs more information before drawing any conclusions. I also like it that Bill points out to Randall the company's policy about not having any personal correspondence via emails. Thus, while Randall might have counted on some sympathy due to having worked at the company for six years, Bill says he looks even more disappointing since an employee with a lot of experience should know the rules better than the others. Another thing on which Randall counted is men's solidarity. And here I once again applaud Bill, who says that personal issues should not be mixed with the job.
The most serious Bill's suggestion which I agree upon is that after thorough investigation one or even both of the colleagues will have to leave. If they have disobeyed the company's rules, this is the only possible option. That way, they personally will be very cautious in future, and also it will set a good example for the rest of the employees.
I totally support Bill's approach to dealing with the situation and I do not think I could suggest any better solution. I think his managerial skills and techniques are great.
