Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
I would discipline them (and actually have done so in the past - but not fired them) - but that’s breaking a workplace policy (if there was one in place), not breaking the law.
However, what we wouldn’t have been allowed to do, as it would be an abuse of process and would have invalidated the disciplinary process, was find out information as part of another investigation, not say anything about it, leave the job, and then make that information public a number of years later.
That would breach the Data Protection Act, and the contract of confidentiality I had signed when I was employed.
