So they likely have this external company that monitor actively for job seeking websites? Do you know what was the specific website was she on?
Honestly I still don't understand exactly how they came to this conclusion and let her go like that? Was she given a chance to defend herself? Like you could easily say that you were helping your friend to look for a job or clicked on some link sent by someone else?
It seems really ridiculous to me to scan for this information and then fire someone based on that.
I'm really very liberal about what I do on my work computer, I just couldn't fathom they would fire me over something like that.
- giantg2 6y agoMaybe you have a good company. I think she admitted it when confronted. I work for a large company and their policy is that you should not be using it for personal stuff. They use this as an excuse to fire people they want to get rid of.
- mewpmewp2 6y agoWhere are you from? It doesn't seem a strong reason enough to fire where I am from (European country). In the law there are examples of reasons one could fire over and they all seem a lot worse than that. For example if you are drunk in the workplace, but even then employer must warn you first, so it seems like once it is okay.
- giantg2 6y agoIn the US. It's an at-will state meaning they can fire you for any reason other than stuff like race, religion, disability etc. Alcoholism is covered here too. The employer must offer to get you help the first time since it is a medical condition (disability).
