I've seen it happen a half-dozen times...

If it's that common, I'm surprised the news channels or the network news probe shows haven't done major expose's about it. Somebody, get me Andy Rooney's number.. :)

You think most employers *CARE* about that? Besides, in at least one
case I saw the timestamps on the E-mails had been changed to make
them occur inside the time of employment.

Didn't it occurr to anybody to find the original logs and check their date vs. the date of the changed timestamps?

So you get fired. Which was the end result of five of the six cases.
Then somebody here isn't following due process. It's a really sad situation when employers are willing to go against the law and see how far an employee would go to fight for his rights.

<sigh>
