I was recently advised of a situation that took place at my work location where an employee accessed inappropriate information from her work computer and she made several copies of it.

The result was a failure to protect the rights of all concerned.I believe this was an instance where too much information was shared prior to taking corrective action.Should an employees rights be protected when they have clearly violated company guidelines?
