So says a 23-year-old store clerk from Kansas who was fired by the chain for airing his concerns on Web security forums.
From an IDG News Service story on Network World:
A low-level TJX employee has lost his job for speaking in public about information security problems he uncovered while working for the company.
The employee, Nick Benson, is a University of Kansas student who worked at T.J. Maxx’s Pine Ridge Plaza store in Lawrence, Kansas. In an e-mail interview, he said he was fired Wednesday for violating corporate policy by disclosing proprietary information.
Benson learned his lesson the hard way. You might figure the same could be said for TJX by now.
