You can't always right away. Corporate policy is a nightmare. There is escalating to superiors. There are second chances. There are PIPs. There is blaming others. And you certainly can't throw out people without hard evidence black on white on paper.
I live in an employment at will state, with no union!

"Corporate policy" isn't always dictated by law or by unions. Big corporates do this to themselves.
And there are many cases where it absolutely makes sense to escalate conflicts to superiors. At least have a neutral third person judge the situation. And there are many cases where giving people a second chance or a PIP is just fair.

Funny story about emails.
A long time ago I worked as a contractor for a large tech company. A fellow contractor sent out an email, to as wide of a group as he could - I don't think he could do an "all company" but something close, about half the company.
Anyway, it was about...how someone took the leftover pizza box that he put in the office lunchroom. It was a shaming, "come-on folks, we're better than this" type of post. Very bad judgement on his part, and he was out within hours.
