    a. The boss should have not made personal comments.

    Explanation:

    Considering that Sam's boss had informed him that sleeping on the job was grounds for dismissal and even warned him twice when he was found sleeping, then in that regard, the boss was within his rights to fire him.

    However, the boss should not have made insultive and personal comments about Sam, as this can be used as evidence against him if Sam decides to sue.
