Will my husband be fired?

I don't know why he did this but he used his work computer to look for other jobs, mind you he has a perfectly good computer at home but he just decided to open his personal email and not only looked for open jobs but also applied to some of them using his work computer. I am paranoid about this kind of stuff, his company has a ton of rules about how they can control and see everything they do. He's the only one working for the family at the moment and now that he did that I am just worried that someone would find out. He said he erased his searches but I know that stuff is not fully gone.

Yes absolutely he will probably be fired companies take unauthorized internet searching of jobs very seriously. They feel like it’s a betrayal. Just sayin…

Could he be fired? Depends on his employment contract

Is the history deleted? Probably not since a lot of companies have auto back up

Will they start looking to fill his position and find a reason to let him go? Probably

Hope he gets one of those jobs he applied to

I wouldn’t frett about it to much. If he is looking then things must not be going well with the company he is with. Should they fire him, you’ll have a little bit of compensation through unemployment while he finds a position that fits him and his job satisfaction! Sounds like a company that would fire him for searching for another job isn’t doing it’s due diligence to make sure there isn’t any reason their employees would look elsewhere and would be acting like tyrants retaliating. Deep breaths. Good like to your husband and his search. It’s a great climate for the employee- LOTS of job opportunities.

Depends on the person who can fire him. Most places would. Too late to say he was dumb, but he was dumb. Help him get his act together if you can.

While technically there is a risk there, this is a very low-risk situation unless the company is small and has complete ****** in charge. Monitoring of employee computer use is really aimed at avoiding security risks, illegal activities, high-risk behavior (i.e. porn or racist/sexist content), and sharing confidential information. While it's a much better idea not to use company equipment for job searches, it's very unlikely that they have the time or interest in policing that.
