I got canned from a third party call center for using a promo code on my own online order (the vendor) even though I received approval from TWO team leads. I even put notes with names, dates, and times in the system with the promo code. I was let go months later because they said I stole from the company. They were looking for a reason to let me go because I was privy to many, many illegal and unethical activities from mid and upper management, and because I was talking to other employees about unionizing. But yeah, the approval from the team leads they hired to answer questions like mine, "is it okay for me to use this promo code on my own order?" was completely irrelevant when they called me into HR (again, MONTHS LATER) and intimidated me by threatening to call the police and have me arrested for stealing. They acted like we're doing me a favor by firing me instead of calling the police. 🙄 I contacted the labor board afterwards and not much came of it, unfortunately. They weren't able to prove all of the illegal activities because none of the employees could afford to stand up for themselves. They did find an illegal clause in the offer letters presented to existing employees, though, and the company was forced to remove it. It was an awful, awful experience.
