From some of my experiences with corporate HR departments, it can be impossible to tell exactly what happened even when you are the one who is supposed to be in the wrong.
This is another reminder that Human Resources is there to protect your company from you, not protect you from your company.

Unions might be helpful here depending on how they work in your country, but this story is so vague that I got the feeling that HR actually did their part. Sure sucks to loose your job, but if you are given restraints and disregard them, well what do you expect to happen?
- osullivj 11y agoYes. The clue is in the title of the department: "human resources". As an employee, you are just a resource to be managed for the good of the company, just like capital, equipment etc. It can be easy to overlook that as most large companies crank out corporate propaganda about the team/family, mission, building your career etc. All those messages are designed to minimize the corporate cost of managing the human resources by engendering compliant behaviour.
