When HR Department's Get it WRONG
Okay, so I read this article and the whole time I'm thinking What the bleep?
Sprint could have turned this into a positive PR story but instead chose to fire their employees after they saved the day.

Does your company have a policy that requires you not be a good Samaritan? Is it even legal to have such a policy? I get the safety factor in that HR departments and corporate accountants are worried about medical bills and legal suits, but as the article states: they weren't in the store, they weren't on Sprint time and the thief didn't steal from Sprint.
How is this a bad thing? Has corporate fear of litigation castrated our ability to be good neighbors?
I don't know -- this just kind of annoys me.
