The use of a work email for private use CAN result in some kind of reprimanding but according to his legal representative in the article, the worst that should have resulted from it is a warning. Your employer can't just outright fire you for any little thing, there are laws in place to prevent that. If you think he should have been fired for doing it, then what do you think about every other job? Should every job have the right to outright fire anyone for any little mistake? If his work broke their own procedure, he may have a case. But lawyers will argue for anything, saying, "His lawyer says xxx" is meaningless. I live in Florida. They can fire you for ANYTHING (that's not federally protected). Also, any major employer is going to have a social media and IT policy that explicitly forbids using work related accounts and work computers for personal use and more importantly explicitly forbids representing your personal affiliations as your employer's (without their permission). The latter is usually an instant fireable offense almost anywhere. You usually sign to agree to this day 1 of employment, if not earlier. Most public companies would rather find you fist fighting a customer than misrepresenting them through your work email. --- "You're sorely underestimating the power of nostalgia goggles." - adjl http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20110218.gif <cite>ChocoboMog123 posted [p:953985845] in Cop who do...
