Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I'm the founder/CIO (chief investment officer) of a prop shop (what we do is prop, or proprietary, trading, which means we're trading stocks using our own money rather than using money given by clients). 

I dislike bureaucracy since I think it's inefficient, so I run it with a few simple rules. Rule #3 is, no trading while on any drugs, aside from coffee. I think it's a pretty obvious rule. Don't trade stocks while you're under the influence of anything, because that has the potential to dull your judgement. 

Some time ago, one of my traders caught another, let's call him Victor, smoking weed in his office while trading, and came to me. I didn't want to act on word of mouth, so I had his office searched, and sure enough there was some weed there. Seeing this, I fired Victor on the spot.

After this, Victor sends me an angry email, saying I was being a dick and unfair. That made me think, am I? He knew the rules, and he broke them, which i think is grounds to fire him.

What do you think? Aita?
