i had to think about that for a minute. at first, i thought it a horrible idea to prop up a bad leader.....but but but.....if they see the leader as not effective or derelict in some way....you just gave the top guy kryptonite fucking creative man.

if a call is made, even if the parents talk to them and rebuke them...they will then be shitting themsevles on the plane ride back...but thats after the behavior and too late. ive seen american kids do that....tell their folks and acting all independent and tough....but on the trip back home they are a ironic reversal of epic proportions "youre a real tough guy now arent ya?"

in this case, umbuku is not a leader for the company. he cant do shit with hitting, calling, keeping money. i think shame and embarassment are his go-to options.

a tough job. i hope youre getting some good lessons out of it.
