I think Veronica gets the boot because she was capable to do the job but chose shortcuts instead to complete her tasks.

Looking forward to the rest of the story.

Recall what it was like to be young. You drew incorrect conclusions based on inadequate data, because you were impatient for a solution. Time, and knowing that you made a mistake and why, corrects this. I realize she also lied, but then they both did, and that is also a correctable mistake.

Thinking behind it being, an incompetent yet committed heart does not make for the progress that a selectively sloppy ambitious person does.

Will look fwd to seeing the outcome tmrw.

I would have kept Veronica. Sloppiness (if that's what it was) is easier to address than lack of competence for a given role. I have managed young and inexperienced people who have made mistakes.

It sounds as if Mary was acting humble, abjectly sorry, and maybe a little depressed and dejected. Managers (not you, of course!!) usually prefer the energetic, ambitious types even when they mess up. I can't wait to find out the answer tomorrow!
