Question:

Silvia Cabrera is an account executive at a major bank. Over the past six months she has noticed that the performance of one of her loans officer, Jorge Rodriquez has been declining. Jorge had always been an excellent employee who maintained great relationships with colleagues, performed his work on time, and rarely missed a day of work. However, in the past six months, he has had frequent absences from work, has had difficulty meeting deadlines, and is moody and distracted. When asked if he was having any problems, Jorge simply replied, “It’s personal.” Last week, Silvia happened to be delivering some important bank documents to Jorge’s office when she thought she saw some pornographic images on Jorge’s computer before he switched screens to some graphs and tables. Silvia was not 100 percent sure of what she saw, so she did not say anything to Jorge. She decided to speak to the branch manger about her concerns. The branch manager was quite taken aback and would like to search Jorge’s computer, his e-mail account, and his Internet usage. Can the branch manager legally perform such a search? Discuss. Would it be appropriate and legal for the bank to install computer-surveillance technologies that target the use of information sources on all employees’ computers?
