Btw, I am of German, Irish, Scottish and a smidgen of American Indian descent so neither the Pollack or Dago reference were personal to me. My issue with such statements at a company party is they are derogatory regarding particular ethnicities. This cannot be allowed by an employer. To not take such references seriously would basically endorse them. As a matter of business practice I disciplined a corporate management employee in Omaha for using ethnic slurs at yet another Christmas party. (Is it any wonder that I am not overly enthusiastic about holiday parties??) The management employee was put on a PIP, given sensitivity training and assigned a mentor within the firm. He was a valued senior individual and needed to learn to be more sensitive to others and how he conducts himself in a professional environment. So this treatment of Cynowa was not personal to cynowa ith was merely the right thing to do. The fact that Slater defended Cynowa's statements does not drive company policy regarding ethnic slurs.
Mr. Cynowa's technical skills were never in question, his professional demeanor (the lack thereof) was the issue.
It is unlikely that Mr. Slater made taunting statements, it is completely counter to his personality style.
Btw, in the email from Randy Padal, the Larry mentioned is not Mr. Carver it is the PM prior to Mr. Slater. His name is Larry McKeehan and he was let go for cause.
Since it is unverifiable that Slater repeated any statements to anyone it is probably more likely that Mr. Cynowa made statements to to others about his belief that slater believed he had a gun thereby damaging his own reputation.
