O2 gives sneaky staff the boot for selling iPhones on eBay

The UK's O2 has apparently given six employees the boot and are investigating another 20 after it came to light they were using their 20 percent staff discount to buy iPhones and sell them on eBay. While no exact number was given, apparently they bought "noticeable quantities" of everybody's favorite -- and now discontinued -- set, to help pad their retirement fund. Of course, with handset sales likely stagnating while everybody waits on the iPhone 3G, you'd think O2 might have given them a break for clearing out all that old stock.[Via RCRNews]

is there anything saying they can't buy as many as they want?

Actually yeah, we have the same no more than 2 (later 1) rule as the public.
Oh, and we got 26% off (But why 26 is a mystery to all of us!)
(This sounded like a very snarky message. Wasn't intended to be so)
