I was recently terminated for "violating company policy" as explained in the thread. What I did was a common practice for those in my position and it was spoken of around upper level managers many times and no one ever told us not to do it. Some managers even told us to go do it when times were tough if we need to make extra money. Fortunately I never was met with hard times so it was rare when I did it, and it was never for personal gain.
If the company has a rule in black and white, but management condones breaking that rule, is it justified to terminate an employee for breaking that rule?
