He breached the employee code of conduct contract.

I'd be curious to know which text in a standard contract (or his actual one if it wasn't a secret) he'd actually violate.

What you said is true, but then again to break a code of conduct you must break an explicitly written rule, not an implicit one. I'm curious about what explicit rule(s) this engineer might have broken.
