Costa Concordia: rushing to blame an employee without knowing the facts?

"At first glance it seems odd to draw parallels between Francesco Schettino, the captain of the stricken Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia, currently under house arrest suspected of the manslaughter of at least 11 people, and Brodie Clark, the former Head of the UK Border Agency who resigned on 8 November 2011 after being publicly criticised by the Home Secretary, Theresa May."

Employment lawyer Martin Pratt, wrote an article for HR Magazine which posed the question of whether the stricken Italian cruise ship captain Francesco Schettino, could have been blamed too soon by his employers before a full investigation was carried out.
