I'm in direct contact with the girl involved. She's gotten them to back down and re-installed her TweetDeck. They realised they were on *very* shaky ground, I think. I actually do.

The day after she was outed as an atheist? I think there would be enough there to at least put the fear of god into them, pun intended ;-) What about the fact that she was singled out, when others in the department openly have that kind of software installed?

I've seen similar tactics, not religiously motivated, but just management attempting to make life difficult for a particular employee so they'll get frustrated and quit. I know a number of chupacabras who would be happy to join the fray. Let us know how things unfold for your friend. Tell her to keep the faith...errr...un-faith. :) So very uncool.

It isn't fair, but it sounds like it may be fairly tough to oppose legally.

I can understand a blanket sweep to clear everyone's computers of unauthorized apps, but only she got tapped. And they went through her stuff AND they moved her fucking desk! This kind of crap is unacceptable. And I won't complain about unproductive boyfriend-blog commenting ;-) The issue has more to do with the singling her out.

That's disgusting. Invoking legal action is tricky if there is a corporate ban on the applications, unless they are not removing software across the board. Also I would advise that your friend have as much previous performance data *in writing* as possible as it's perfectly within the scheme of things to say that the software was removed for productivity reasons, etc. The iTunes piece - discrimination aside - is vaguely understandable. We have a block on iTunes. People watching movies, etc. at work is not productive. Not that commenting on my boyfriend's blog is. :-/ Wow. That's disgusting.

I get that she probably shouldn't have had tweetdeck installed but iTunes??? She played it openly every day, everyone knew about it and heard it. Then all of a sudden the day after a co-worker gets upset about finding out she's an Athiest they crack down on iTunes?? Seriously WTF?! I'll send polar bears with your chupacabras. It's fucking insane!
