There is an area at work where only approved cellphones are allowed. There is a security checkpoint to enter.
A person at work was just promoted (double salary), which required him to go through the checkpoint. After filling out some forms, they told him it would be processed in 3 days. Then he'll get a shiny sticker to paste to the back.
On the first day (no sticker), they confiscated his phone at the checkpoint, to be returned on his way out.
On day two, he decided to sneak the phone into the building. While texting inside, someone saw the lack of sticker and reported it to security. They escorted him out. Fired.
He's suing to get his job back; says he needed a cellphone for emergencies.
He's in his 30's.
