Here's my take on it..

Although I am an employee, I side with the employer on this one.

An employer pays for his employee to travel to a show, sets him up in a nice room, offers him an expense account to take out clients, and gives him the freedom to drink and have a good time with both clients and friends. During the day the employee's job is to man the booth to answer questions and build rapport with anyone interested in the company.

So if another company is talking to the employee during a show regarding a job offer, I would consider this to be on company time and unacceptable. If the employee took the guys card and called him after the show, fine.. everyone has a right to consider other job offers.. but not on company time.

I don't think it would be just cause to fire the employee, but it certainly would be a reason to put him on notice.
