Woman Denied Unemployment Benefits After Detailing Efforts to Avoid Work
Unemployment benefits are being denied to an Iowa hotel worker who was fired for using her employer's computer to keep a journal of her efforts to avoid work.
A supervisor found the journal late last year and fired Emmalee Bauer for misuse of company time.
The journal was entered into evidence at a recent state hearing dealing with Bauer's request for unemployment benefits. Bauer testified the journal was intended to help her deal with anxiety and frustration.
Administrative Law Judge Susan Ackerman denied Bauer's request. The judge says the journal demonstrated Bauer's refusal to work, as well as her "amusement at getting away with it."
DOH! When I was doing IT for a company, I would routinely look at the servers for 'odd' non-business files. I don't mind people bringing MP3 files into work but they shouldn't use a corporate server for storing them, especially when clients have access to the same file areas. Same goes for documents and images...
