Since when does morality have anything to do with it? We are not talking about "laws" (that at least in theory are based on notions of fairness or morality), but work place rules that, unless they result in a discrimination prohibited by law, are perfectly valid no matter how ill-advised. The employer has a rule, the employee violated it, and, without more, that's that. An employer can fire an at-will employee for a good reason or for no reason at all; he is prohibited from termination only for reasons prohibited by law.
