Wanna make $14 the hard way?
With the Gruden revelations coming out, an interesting thought crossed my mind. If a coach is fired for cause, would that not create a precedent for future coaches?
In other words, let's say Jax fires Urban because he's not working out as well as they had hoped and its becoming fairly clear that its a bad fit; but they use the lap dance as the "for cause" justification so they don't have to pay him his buyout. They then hire another coach is a better fit and he wins. Then some time later, some sort of emails are uncovered in which coach B makes this organization look really bad. Since they're now winning, the ownership decides not to fire coach B. Would Urban then be entitled to lost wages?

What happened to my ¤cash?
Pretty sure that she wasn’t using company resources when she did the grind… The situation above, while your point is noted, involved the company’s resources.

Your scenario is unrealistic to lead to any extra reimbursement to Urban. First of all, the facts of your situations aren't exactly the same, so legally the one wouldn't create a precedent for the other. I don't think there is such a thing as a precedent for an employer to fire someone. They either breach the contract by firing the employee or they don't, it all depends on the terms of each contract. Second, Urban wouldn't get any extra money for someone else subsequently not being fired, because it is separate from the question of whether he could be fired for cause. In other words, if in theory B can be fired for cause, just because the employer fired A that doesn't mean they have to terminate B. B not being fired also doesn't create any injury to A.
Personally, I doubt what Urban did in the bar would be considered bad enough to terminate him without JAX still being on the hook financially.

What do you need water for, Sunshine?
well... it could be said that the bar is, in a way, a company resource since it seems that there is some kind of business or commercial interest and/or affiliation. same could be said about urban as the part owner and namesake of the business.
having said that... i don't recall how mcneil was using company resources to troll, unless you mean that he was presumably using the internet access and / or work computer?
