[quote=Anonymous]I worked for a company that had this kind of information stored on a server that all of the standard forms were on. I was poking around and found a file that contained everyone's income information, insurance options, even about who was paying child support (garnished wages).

I reported this to my immediate supervisor who said to me, "that's not cool" and he went to the boss and said that I had "cracked a code" to gain access to this information. Nothing was password protected, so he was full of shit.

I was called into a meeting with the boss and an HR puppet. I told them what I saw, how I happened to see it and that I told my supervisor. I was told to forget about it.

The next morning I showed up and I got fired. They believed my supervisor's story about me "cracking a code" on an unprotected file. I was told, "this is the kind of information that can bring an organization to its knees" and that they would have to let me go.

I contacted a lawyer and I was told that it would cost me tens of thousands of dollars to go after them. I just sucked it up and moved on. That's the only time I have ever been fired from a job.

If I ever win the lottery I am going to make a few people wish that they never fucked with me![/quote]
