In my years at this company as a road service tech. I have developed the reputation for being a straight shooter and calling it like it is. Honest 8 hours work for 8 hours pay and my co-workers have known me for this good work ethic. Well over a year ago I posted a help wanted topic in the technicall portion of this site and got some good feed back and fixed the problem I had. Today I was at a customer and got a call from my dispatcher to come to the office no matter what I was doing. I knew this was not good but could not figure it out for the life of me.
Once at the office went straight to the service managers office, did not pass GO or nothing. My dispatcher did not even know what was going on as we walked to the office. This whole conversation now lasted maybe two minutes so bear with me. The head guy ask me a few questions and I said yes to them as it was all true, got nothing to hide, and told me got an email from his boss, the president of the company, with a copy of my post. Well turns out my asking for help in a public forum where the competion could read this is a HUGE mistake and I dont need to devulge company interest. I never once slandered my company in anyways, shape or form but asked a simple question on my own time using my resources. Once I told him I used my own time and resources that was the end of the conversation and was asked to leave.

Am I in the wrong for what I have done or is the company wrong for what they have done? Nothing was writen down today that we had this meeting so could I treat it as it never happened? There is nothing in the employee manual that says I cant do what I did.
