I do AutoCad at a land planning/design company. With the economy the way it is, the manager told us all to look for other jobs while the owner was out of town.
We all started looking for other jobs.
Weeks later, one of the designers, who is a pretty good friend, goes out of town. While he is out, the manager hacked into his personal e-mail account. The designer knew this had happened as e-mails were marked as read while he had no computer; his provider confirmed the access from our office.
The designer was fired the next day.
The owner may or may not know about the manager getting into the personal e-mail, and is pretty spineless when it comes to confrontation.
The manager is a manipulative backstabbing witch that deters potential contracts, but the owner refuses to see that.
The designer was fired for doing What He Was TOLD to do.
Whether or not it is illegal for an employer to hack into personal e-mail, doesn't change my opinion that it is a horrible and dishonorable thing to do.
The Pickle: I am about 80% of the company's income at this time. Is that enough leverage for me to open this can of worms, and try to do the right thing at the risk of getting fired myself?
