Judges Rule Google Search by Employer Not Illegal 185

Posted by Zonk from the mebbe-you-shouldn't-be-talking-about-that-online dept.
An anonymous reader passed us a link to an Ars Technica article about a failed lawsuit over a Google search. A federal circuit court of appeals has upheld the original ruling against David Mullins, who claimed that Googling his name constituted ex parte communications prior to firing him. "Through a series of events, Mullins' employer found that he had misused his government vehicle and government funds for his own purposes — such as sleeping in his car and falsifying hotel documents to receive reimbursements, withdrawing unauthorized amounts of cash from the company card, and traveling to destinations sometimes hundreds of miles away from where he was supposed to be ... Mullins' supervisor provided a 23-page document listing 102 separate instances of misconduct. Mullins took issue with a Google search that Capell performed just before authorizing his firing. During this Google search, Capell found that Mullins had been fired from his previous job at the Smithsonian Institution and had been removed from Federal Service by the Air Force."

Journal Journal: Whoa is me!

Journal by PinkBird
This being my first entry into my journal is a sad state of affairs. I have a 6 digit /. id, but yet I have never written in my journal. SAD!

A little over a week ago I got the sack!! I'm 38 years old and I've never gotten laid off before. So now the job hunt starts. The pl/sql experience I had a my former job was such a great learning experience, that it's going to be hard to find a job I like as well. Oh well, life will go on.
