I mean, seriously, what company on earth, that has two brain cells to rub together, "disciplines" or writes up an employee, and refuses to tell her (or him, dammit) what they said, what they did, etc.? Does this sound right or normal to anyone else here? If nothing else, I'd suspect it would open the company up foir...hell, selective enforcement or all sorts of labor infractions. (I mean, think about it--"we're threatening to disclipline you, but the WHY is a secret?" Are you kidding?) If HLS were to be subsequently terminated, and that write-up used as part of that, it could EASILY be wrongful termination.
Unless I'm cracked, employers must--must--have "just cause" for writeups, permanent or otherwise. What's the just cause here? The Double-Secret Probation behavior? Pah.
I get it, nothing overt happened to HLS, so s/he is inclined to write it off, change the social media and continue on. but...the whole thing stinks to me. Yes, the jerk that "reported" HLS is a jerk but the company is an even larger jackass.

, I wasn't commenting on what happened to HLS, I was commenting on the term "permanent record".
