Terry I realise this is an old e-mail, two years old in fact. But
have you ever heard of a little thing called, "The Employee's
Confidentiality Act"? I am afraid you are quiet wrong about this
one....and civil sanctions can be brought forth against
Ms.Parham's employer. And very rightly so, since such aqusations
could affect futer endeavors of willfully gained employment for
Ms. Parham. I sincerly hope Ms Parham has moved on & prospered
with another company. I also hope she sought legal advice on this
issue.
Sincerly,
Jeannie Nikouyeh
P.S. Sorry about the intial blank e-mail.
