Another of these "They shouldn't punish people for breaking the rules because they didn't do it before" threads.

Maybe they're getting tired of just telling ppl not to do it because they've proven they're going to do it until there are consequences for doing it?

"But they didn't do it before" isn't relevant unless you own a time machine.

A cop isn't going stop giving you a speeding ticket if you tell them you didn't get a ticket all the other times you broke the speed limit.

Your boss isn't going to stop firing you for breaking policy just because you told them you didn't get fired all the other times you did it.
