Henry is an employee of Virtual Company. He has worked in this company for 2 years. The company gave him an Employee’s Handbook. The handbook has a chapter about discipline. In that chapter, it says that browsing social media on smartphone during working time is viewed as stealing time from the company and the time will be deducted from employee’s paycheck for the first three violations. Harder disciplinary action will be taken after that. Henry put the handbook on his shelf and never read it again. One day, his manager passed by his working cubicle and found that he was reading news on Twitter on his phone. The manager knocked at the wall of the cubicle and left. The next day, he was found watching something on his phone again and the manager knock on his cubicle again. Henry found that he was paid less. The manager explained that this is because he violated the rule of no social media. Henry is going to go against the company.
