But after the 2 This young woman has been offered a lifeline. It is now up to her to show that it was deserved.

Wow. Where do you work- in communist China? I worked in discipline, and of the hundreds of cases I reviewed, NONE stemmed from a practical joke gone bad. As long as nobody gets hurt, no personal or company equipment is damaged, I see no harm in an occasional prank.
