I am a nurse. I transferred to a smaller branch of the large hospital I was working at for a year. While orienting to my new surroundings, my mentor and I had a lot of downtime on the night shift. He wanted to watch movies over the internet, but was wary of using the office computers to do so. He suggested I bring in my laptop, which I did. To make a long story short, there were nude pictures of me on my laptop, which were seen by him and another employee. I did not deliberately show them, the other employee found them. When I went back to work 4 days later, the gossip about this incident had gotten out of control and I was fired for unprofessional conduct. Unemployment compensation was also denied.
Many employees bring their laptops to work and many look at or have nude photos.
Was this fair? Should I continue to fight it, or just accept it and let it go? I do have another job now.
