Tim Watkins, The Employee Who Knew Too Much

There is more than just an ethical aspect of this situation there is also a legal aspect. First Tim Watkins is not a faithful and trustworthy employee; he is a disaster waiting to happen, and bringing his “main squeeze” into his web of lies and deceit, he has now compromised her life. He has passed all ethics rules on emails by using the company email for personal use and sharing company confidential information with a nonemployee. Tim was trespassing when he broke into his boss’s office and reading papers that were not intended for his viewing, the memo Tim reads on his boss’s desk should have never been left in plain sight for anyone to read, this was confidential information and had access codes to access high security areas. We can be sure to say that Tim lacks personal restraint, not only has he broken into his boss’s office he has also taken the information he gained and went to the basement. The name calling of his boss, everyone has had things to say about a boss, but to put it in print this way puts it out there for the whole world to view, and when it comes out of a mouth and in print it can never be taken back. After exploring the basement Tim has now brought into his plan a member of the military, we can assume this by Tim using the word soldier.


I can see this all going very badly for his “main squeeze” and his old high school buddy, because when the federal government is involves there are rules that are unknown to all mankind, they have their own rules. If this is such a secret operation I see Tim just disappearing along with the “main squeeze”, the email, and his old high school buddy. The government would not play they would all be taken to some remote island that is unknown to anyone to be left there or their remains be tied to the bottom of the ocean, never cross the federal government or share government secrets the government has ways of dealing with people like Tim.

If they were to arrest Tim, once the information was brought to the officials, his “main squeeze” would also be an accessory as well as Theodore, they would all go down together. The email would be cold hard evidence: the email shows the entire story, maps out who/whom, what, why, when, and how he executed his plan, therefore; would be evident enough to convict him in the court of law.

With our high tech society that we live in now people must realize when information is shared over the internet and through email, this all can be used in a court of law as evidence. Just because you push the delete button, it is still out there and can be retrieved, whether it is for you or against you.
