10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town
(sh.itjust.works)
I didn't really consider the reason the company gave for the dismissal. Though it occurs to me now that any incident where someone loses their job due to donating food nearing expiry could be plausibly written up as thievery by the company doing the firing.
Which is a nuance that might be worth chatting to a lawyer about.
