What was the indiscretion?

Who did he cover up to?

The indiscretion which was having porn on his computer that staff could see, but he has gone to great lengths to hide this to the RIB, by not raising it and continuing to try and get permanent name suppression.

Now that is fine when it comes to many avenues of employment, but TOTALLY unacceptable for someone working judging others integrity.

So not the indiscretion but that he tried to hide it, he never came clean

Now apologies to anyone with a sensitive demeanour, but there are 3 somewhat clever but inappropriate puns in the post above lol

I mostly agree but I don't think it is fine in any avenue of employment at all.

Fair point. I probably should have said that I don't think involuntary exposure such as this is fine in any avenue of employment.

Wrong on all counts.  You are as bad as @curious reading what you want to read as opposed to distilling the facts.

You make the assumption he tried to hide it.  What if he wasn't asked?  

In any case what was he hiding?  That he watched porn on his office computer?

If you are talking about your post then not "clever" more salacious innuendo unbecoming of someone of intellect.

Given both you and @curious haven't yet identified the core issue with the case I can say that neither of you would meet your expectations of an RIB Stipe.  Now what does that highlight?

what . There wouldn't be a paid job going where an employee could view pornography on work equipment. 

would be grounds for (summary) instant dismissal as is a case of serious misconduct. (yes the brothels get away with it I spose )  

Of course a 'dismissal procedure' must be followed to avoid any 'Unfair Dismissal ' claims by some gold seeking lawyer , just as in other serious misconduct issues under employment Law such as Theft, physical violence, Gross negligence or serious insubordination. they are not worthy of keeping on staff at any business .

unfortunately in this day and age the legal system  is full of claims of serious Sexual harassment. It seems to come in all shapes and forms these days that lead to all sorts of issues.

Staff seeing someone with pictures on a screen of a sexual nature,  is not only Very poor taste, terribly poor ethically, but also a type of harassment to those that know it's going on, and would effect productivity and co-operation in the workplace.  It is incredibly easy to prove from the hard drive.  Dismiss them instantly.
