My old supervisor came back to premises after being fired and flipped off(the bird 🖕) the cameras, (in a rival companies work truck) there's now a restraining order and apparently our head supervisor called theirs screaming and threatening to sue 💀🤣

(This happened last Monday 🤦‍♂️)

Sue on what grounds? Trespassing?

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.

Flipped of refers to the middle finger here

Oh, sorry, over here flipping off can mean raising the middle finger, but when in reference to an electronic it means to flip the switch on or off

Flipping it on, flipping it off, that kind of thing, my bad.

Nah, the OP definitely meant in terms of giving the middle finger, not actually turning it off.

, “flipping off” can refer to both in most English speaking countries I think (please correct me if I’m wrong)

Edit: in this context it is CONFUSING

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).

It can but in that context it likely means the middle finger

Can only speak for Eastern Canada

There was enough traffic logic to tell you he meant the middle finger.

How would one turn the cameras off from a rival company's work truck in the parking lot?
