While this is a great anecdote I can't help but think that mayb this wasn't the real reason your friend was let go, it was more like an excuse or a last straw. Obviously I don't know anything about the circumstances but that's what Occam's Razor dictates.

Actually, the main article is a good argument that it can be both.

Yes, the organization method mandates that a person be fired for merely forgetting the pizza because ... this, arguably, makes it less likely that anyone will be fired for something more serious.

But at that point, the organization method itself kind-of ... sucks.

You'd be surprised.
