Verizon Fires Employees for Snooping Obama's Cellphone Records; Helen Jones-Kelley Continues Serving Out Her Two Month Partially-Paid Vacation

Funny that Verizon doesn't recognize a "sudden fame" exception.

Verizon Wireless has fired the workers tied to the breach of records for a cell phone used by Barack Obama, according to CNN.
A source told CNN on Friday about the firings. The source wouldn't say how many people were involved. The workers had been placed on leave earlier this week during Verizon's internal investigation.

So is Verizon more serious about protecting people from invasions of privacy than Governor Ted Strickland, or is Barack Obama objectively a person more deserving of protection?

Thanks to someone.

1 Isn't the governor up for re-election in 2010? Is he that confident in all the illegals registered that he's not worried about angering people over this? Are the people in Ohio even awake?

Not only is that a rhetorical question, it's RACIST.

You're welcome.

Soon, however, it will be open season on the rest of us.

Just part of the normal double standard. Also, if sued, Verizen would have to foot the bill whereas the OH civil service admin will pay for any damages awarded. In other words, the OH taxpayer will foot the bill, not the bitch who is currently on a taxpayer subsidized vacation. She is probably drawing unemployment benefits as well.

5 I wonder if the Verizon people found Larry Sinclair's number on the log.

7 Eh Verizon is just being smart. while as OH isnt going to be sued by the federal govt , they only have to worry about Joe suing (and its not their money that would be paid out), Verizon runs the risk of a federal suit, and somethign tells me if something actually damaging came out, the manchild woulda thrown a tanrum with the full force of the Fed

8 I work for a telecom that starts with V. I didn't mention this before, but our Security fires people daily for this stuff. It is almost always people checking on an exs', or soon to be exs', account. They sometimes get a co-worker to do it so they don't have their fingerprints on the account. But in the middle of a divorce, etc..., what are you going to do with this illegally obtained info. Yes, he's calling some chick 4 towns over. Constantly. So what? Get fired for info you can't use. Yup. Every day. A first level manager made this decision, not a big honcho. Not much of a stretch, if you want a secure and private network that people can trust.....Government work? From now on, nobody can trust them. Ever.

15 My wife works for a bank, let's say it starts with a W, that is being bought by a bank that begins with a W, but was almost bought by one that begins with a C.
She told me that people get fired constantly for looking up celebrities and politicians accounts. All of these accounts are flagged and when someone opens them up they are flagged, and their account manager is notified. If it was legit, it's ok, if not, they get their stuff boxed up.

Notice that it didn't make headline news.
Eh, wrong party.

17 #15mrcaniac....as well it should be. Why can't government employees be held to at very least, a private sector standard? Before I ever do anything illegal, I always ask myself, is it worth it. Can I handle the consequences? She knew somebody would cover her fat ass. So of course, the answer is yes for her.......Is it worth it for me to see a hobos' eyes roll backin his head? Hell Yeah!!

The H4 replica watches took replica watches Harrison a massive 13 years to replica watches construct-but this was only the end of a lifetime's work. His genius was clear from the very beginning. Unfortunately many astronomers such as Nevil Maskelyne were convinced that a mechanical solution replica watches would not work and that only astronomy could solve the replica watches longitude problem. The fact that Harrison was from a working class family and had little replica watches formal education probably didn't help his prospects.Solving the longitude problem through horology meant designing a timepiece that could work accurately at sea. When you watch consider the rolling waves, changes in replica watches temperature and generally adverse replica watches conditions the dificulty of this task becomes apparent.The H1 was completed in 1735 and proved replica successful at sea. However the Board of Longitude demanded a full a transatlantic wholesale watch voyage. They gave Harrison a grant of 500 pounds with which he began work on the H2 watches.

Others suppose that there is a single Oyster watch. But as a matter of fact, the name Oyster does not actually meant for a rolex Watches particular watch you can buy rolex watches or even to a series but to a type of case that available in some of the Rolex ranges. History The Oyster case was first released in 1926. The objective was to protect the workings of the watch from dust and moisture. Early watches were far from waterproof. The Oyster tag heuer Watchescase was an tag heuer watches innovative design to eliminate these problems. It had a new double locking crown that screwed into place. It has been compared to the hatch on a submarine. Like a submarine, the Oyster case was waterproof. In 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English breitling Watches Channel breitling watches . Before she set off she was presented with a Rolex Oyster. When she arrived, the watch was still working perfectly. The resulting publicity gave the new case a massive boost. Why is it called Oyster?
