regarding inappropriate web content. I am wondering if I could get fired for viewing something that is perfectly legal, yet deemed inappropriate. I was viewing some handguns, that I might purchase in the future and I guess IT got wind of it, and this morning had a small meeting with my two bosses above me, to tell me not to view it again. I know I can get fired for this, but would it be a constructive dismissal if fired over it
This would potentially be a wrongful dismissal, rather than a constructive dismissal. However, if you have already been warned not to visit those websites at work, and you do it again, it would likely be grounds for further discipline, possibly a suspension, or even termination for cause, which means you would receive no severance whatsoever.
