MP3s may be hazardous to your career.
Carla Tomino, a secretary at NorthWestern University in Evanston, Ill., says she was fired July 23 amidst accusations that she had stockpiled some 2,000 music files on her work computer in violation of a policy that bars personal use of company resources.
Such policies are frequently overlooked for such things as e-mail and phone use, but Tomino said a human resources officer explained that the volume of material found on the computer had triggered the termination.
