Ex-employee puts lawsuit details online

Another use of the Internet HR could do without: A worker has created a Web site describing an EEOC charge he’s filed against a former employer.

You can see the page here. According the homepage, “This website is being used to present evidence in an EEOC complaint, among other things.”

Also, the author says he’s heard from other employees who are interested in filing a joint lawsuit, and lists his own contact information for all the employment lawyers out there.

And the scariest part: There are several pages of articles detailing other complaints the ex-employee has with the company and some other examples of alleged misconduct.

This probably won’t become normal behavior for employees who file lawsuits, but these days, there are a number of ways current and former employees can air grievances and find an audience. With current employers, it’s possible to have a policy against mentioning the company online, but once someone quits or gets fired, there isn’t much to do.
