My buddy just said he was fired for conduct unbecoming. Is this a thing?

You can get fired for anything. If you don’t work there, you have no clue. Management is always changing too.
No way would an employee have been allowed to serve as a juror on a case involving his employer.
I was always under the assumption if they caught you in a lie they promote you.
Yes, they catch you in a lie they will fire you for that
I think there was a case from 1999 that involved a conductor receiving jury duty and the defendant being NS, the case ruled against NS. after returning they fired him for conduct unbecoming. case is NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY v. James E. JOHNSON
Yes, its a catch all phase that means his conduct was considered not up to standard. Commonly used in cases ranging from altercations to unethical behavior.
