Nice setup.
They need to be careful on the slippery slope of chargeable offences.
As, "stealing" electricity needs to be clearly defined. Otherwise, it leads to hypocrisy.
We have guys who use the compressor to pump up their recreation vehicles, we have guys who work on their own technology as we have a technical workshop.
We have guys fixing manager's microwaves and such during work time.
We have people use the photocopier for their children's school projects...
But the main component here is, Permission.
As a manager, we allow our staff some flexibility in order to create a good culture. If a line is crossed, then all that "benefit" is removed.
As people put in additional hours for free.
But, when it comes to our head office, there is a lot of hypocrisy. As, to fire someone under certain rules, those rules don't apply to people they like.
It sounds like this employee didn't fit the culture and did not have any "White Knights" to smooth the situation over.
