In a refreshing turn of events the laptop that had been previously stolen from the home of a VA employee has been recovered. The laptop which we originally reported on a month ago is back home safely.
“It was confirmed to me by the deputy attorney general that law enforcement has in their possession the … laptop and hard drive,” Nicholson said in a statement at the hearing. “The serial numbers match.”
The funny part here is that the sacrificial lamb that the VA has initiated termination proceedings against…had permission to have the laptop with SSNs on it. I’ll say it again, he HAD PERMISSION. The letter of permission has surfaced and, naturally, the employee is fighting back. Now, it has become very obvious that the problem lies in the higher ups. Now we can fully appreciate why they were so keen to fire him.
