What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Recently, a colleague of mine asked me to log into a server for work purposes and told me she will log me out . I did what she asked and later found out that she went through all my emails when she started quoting a confidential email with my boss. I believe I can prove that she went through my emails.
Is this something that she should get fired for , if proved? She has been in the company for several years and its the first time she has done something like this. FYI company size is >1000 people. HR and IT have not really told me anything and are taking their time. I have been told to not talk about anything, but she is going around talking to people saying generally negative things around me . She had been generally bullying me before this incident but this felt like a theft.
I had some personal information in it too that she accessed (I sent copies of my social security number, passport, I9, direct deposit bank account info etc) to HR through work email. I think she accessed those as well, though its harder to prove that she did that.
Is this something that the company should/most probably fire her for?
Can I be blamed for logging in for her when she asked me? I was deceived into it.
Thank you so much for your help and your kind thoughts.
