I can fully understand why a company doesn't want Tor traffic coming from inside the firewall. But this case, if the sort description is accurate, should have been cleared up with a conversation with the employee possibly resulting in temporarily banning Brave until they can actually deploy it in a configuration that works with company policy.

Again, IF the description is accurate, the employee was using a browser allowed by IT and did not have any ill intentions.

According to what I read, the manager attempted to go to bat for the employee, and basically did everything they could short of flat out refusing to fire the person. After this incident, the manager and most of the remaining devs on the team are now looking for new jobs. I can't say as I blame any of them.
