I had an employee provide a resignation before I was on site. The employee then unplugged a desktop computer and left the premises with it. The computer contained pricing data, customer data, email communications, login credentials to several important websites, login info to vendor websites.
I filed a police report and the police were able to recover the computer, however the data on the machine was wiped or the drive was replaced.
What should I do?
Nothing to do with justifying what the employee did, but I would love to see how unclean the employer’s hands are from the employee’s point of view if they did something like this 😆
