Jane gets the axe

On my last post, I had mentioned how guilty I felt for agreeing with my boss's decision to fire Jane. I am over that feeling now, and a sense of relief has overtaken any guilt I was harboring. Whether I had told my boss that I think Jane should be fired or not, she was going to do it. I had nothing to do with that.
Now I look forward to a time somewhere in the near future (I hope) where the cafe is not dominated by nasty gossip and unstoppable cafe incest. I expect the next couple of weeks will be rocky as we all adjust. This is the first time in Cafe Nasty history that boss lady has let someone go just because of her personality or her character or whatever. Jane was a very good worker- good with customers, clean and tidy, made beautiful drinks, all that shit. But she was also a destructive force that was slowly lowering everyone's morale.
The question that's on my mind now is: was she totally to blame for the recent epidemic of hostility and slander? Well, no she wasn't. There were others- Mallory and Sanjay got stern talkings to today from the boss- I saw it with my own eyes. And her boyfriend Dave, he did nothing that a good boyfriend is supposed to do when his girl is having a hard time.
Is Jane being persecuted because she's an attractive female? Or does boss lady (do I?) feel threatened by this power Jane seemingly wielded while she was working at Nasty? It really was as if we were all under her spell- obsessed with who she would hook up with next- scared that she would single us out individually and verbally bitch slap each of us behind our backs.
Is this a symptom of society being afraid of strong females?
The thing is, though these questions are floating around in my head because I'm terrified that something unwarranted may have been done, I don't really feel that Jane is the victim of a Puritanical witch hunt. After observing the cafe dynamics over the past couple of months, I can say with confidence that Jane seemed not to care whether she was making trouble at work. We have this saying at Cafe Nasty- that when you walk into the store to begin your shift, you lock up all your problems and issues in this imaginary golden chest, and you can have them back when it's time to leave. Jane routinely violated this rule, and in my opinion dug her grave by doing so.
Will this set an example for the rest of the staff? Will they realize the severity of it all? Or will they laugh it off. Time will tell...
