I understand. I am sincerely sorry for these people, it was certainly
not my intention to make fun of them.
Just as you, I see, and can approve, why companies don't and can't
tolerate such behavior today. Sending immediately an only the pink
slip at the *first* violation, rather than a fine, official reprimand
or similar, sounds really terrible and stupid though. It makes me
seriously think that people who find a new job after being fired for
this would be thankful in the long run. Of course, those who wouldn't
would be in dire straits, this is is all really academic, and we are
really drifting off topic now...
Ciao,
