He wasn’t “playing” Pokémon Go, he was strategically investigating augmented reality to inquire how it can be leveraged to impact the synergies of your enterprise. (You need to go to B-school to learn bullshit language like this to justify playing on the company dime.)

You are correct, the rules don't apply to him. Congratulations, you just learned the first rule of the workplace.

Grow up. The rules apply to those who earn the salaries. Not those who pay them. It’s called capitalism. If you don’t want to follow rules, start your own business and pay your own salary. Until then, suck it up.

that unfairness is called life... no matter what job you have it will happen.

Yes that rule should apply to every one

I make a nickel, my boss makes a dime, that's why I poop on company time.

Pokémon go is more important, gotta catch ‘em ALL!!

The rules never apply to management. Get used to it. They think they’re better than everyone else because they earn a few extra bucks on payday. Welcome to the real world!

Pokemon Go is still relevant and still played?

Yeah, it doesn't apply to the boss. And you were checking the time on your phone? Use a watch or a wall clock, or even your computer. I don't understand why people always use their phone to check the time when there are plenty of other methods available.
