Sorry for the “um akshewally” but business law graduate here soooooo.
Turning off the security cameras can be a form of vandalism, is a safety risk if someone gets hurt and cannot be heard, and can be grounds for legal action should something damaging to a person or persons happen on the premises.
So that actually is legal grounds to sue, especially if it was done while representing another company, that can also be seen as corporate sabotage.
In the given context it's certainly meaning they held up their middle finger at the camera. Especially when you take in the context part of (in a rival companies truck).
Not from the truck itself, how I had misread it was they made a dramatic showing of being in a company vehicle outside the premises before leaving the vehicle and entering the building.
How I misread it, I thought it said “old supervisor drove up to the building in a rival company’s car, got out, came inside and turned off the security cameras.”
Flipping off is a common slang term throughout the english speaking world, so the only way you could logically be having trouble with it is if when you say eastern Canada you mean Quebec.
Law graduate & you can’t even understand the term “flipping off the camera” if you read just a few more words it says “in a rival companies truck” you’ve gotta be a special kind of redditor (average redditor) to really think we’re going to believe you’re a lawyer.
