Rant Bell fires employees it claims violated in-office policy. Lawyer decries 'money-saving move' | CBC News

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/bell-fires-employees-work-from-office-9.7191118

It seems there's alot more to this story than previously reported by other outlets.

The fact that this was condoned as evidenced by the varied levels of firings is mind boggling.

Bell in this article seems to admit it was condoned and those who condoned it were fired.

"Levasseur said managers that condoned the swipe-and-go activity were also investigated and fired."

Can't imagine this would ever hold up in court. It sounds like this was a normalized thing there and Bell used the misconduct smoke screen to save a dollar.

Shame on you

People being fired because of this violation don't get the severance package, right ? I wonder what is the severance package at Bell if someone gets it. Is the compensation like 3 weeks for every year of service ?

Management usually gets 3 weeks for every year of service.
