You know what they say about loose lips!! Well, if Nancy didn't know, she certainly knows now after having been fired for looking up information about celebrities through her job at an airline company and telling literally everyone under the sun about it. One of the people she gossiped about it with was the Redditor and his wife, who both were immediately unsure about the ethics of the situation.

 

When the Redditor talked about it casually with his friend Tony, Tony told his girlfriend, who happened to be best friends with the people who work directly above Nancy. Well, you can just guess what happened next. Of course, Nancy was up in arms about it and called the Redditor and his wife in a panic, blaming them for getting her fired. However, we all know that at the end of the day, Nancy has absolutely no one to blame for what happened except herself.

    Font - AITA for getting my wife's friend fired from her job My wife (26) and I (27) have a friend (let's call her Nancy, 26) who works for an airline company in the US. She works within the company and has access to flight records and personal information.

    Font - My wife and I were hanging out with Nancy a couple weeks ago and she kept causally bragging about how she had been searching up celebrities and had found out emails, phone numbers, multiple addresses and other person details. Nancy claims to have found information on over 20+ celebrities, including some huge names. My wife and I both mentioned that it probably wasn't a good idea, and if she got caught she'd likely be in some big trouble.

    Font - A few days after, I was hanging out with another friend (let's call him Tony, 27) who also works for the same airline company but in a different sector. I had mentioned what Nancy had been doing, and he agreed that it was a bad idea and she would end up in pretty serious trouble for looking up such information.

    Font - This Friday, I received an angry phone call from Nancy, who was yelling about how I had told her boss what she was doing and she had been fired for looking up personal celebrity information. I explained that I had mentioned it to another friend but didn't think he would tell anyone. It turns out Tony had mentioned it to his girlfriend, who ended up telling her bestfriend who works above Nancy in the company. This lead to Nancy's boss finding out, and consequently firing her.

    Font - My wife is split and says I shouldn't have spoken about it, but also agrees that what Nancy was doing was pretty creepy and this was a consequence of her bragging. Am I the hole?

    Font - dwotw 14 hr. ago NTA. Whether you exposed her deliberately or by accident what she was doing was unethical, against company policy and perhaps an invasion of privacy. If she blabs about it then that's exactly the way rumors start and she should have expected that to happen. 228 Reply Share

    Font - author124 14 hr. ago NTA and good job, you exposed a glorified stalker. Even though you didn't do it intentionally, N either knew or should have known the consequences of talking about something like that, and she's choosing to take it out on you instead of holding herself accountable. She's lucky the airline didn't get sued, and if she wrote down or otherwise kept any of the contact information somehow, she's heading for an eventual lawsuit herself. 168 Reply Share

    Font - sunnydays0306 14 hr. ago NTA - you didn't get her fired, she got herself fired. I feel like that is an important thing to point out. I'm sure you're not the only one she bragged about to and it would've gotten back to her boss eventually. Unprofessional and a breach of privacy, not cool. 115 Reply Share

    Font - Effective-Celery8053 14 hr. ago NTA that's an invasion of privacy and abuse of power & access to information. If you don't wanna get fired, maybe don't do it. Plus you didn't even tell her boss directly, if she's telling other people this info, why can't you?

    Font - Kylie JadaHunter . 14 hr. ago NTA Nobody wants their personal information with someone who's going to abuse it and invade their privacy. Just because they're celebrities doesn't give anyone the right to access their personal information. Would you appreciate it if it was you? Although you didn't mean for it to happen, the right thing was done.

    Font - Opposite-Guide-9925. 13 hr. ago ΝΤΑ She was being a weird creep and bragging about it, she got herself fired. If she'd simply kept her mouth shut then no- one would be the wiser. I hope the airline has reached out to all those celebrities to inform them a rogue member of staff has accessed all their personal information from company files...

    Font - Noodlefanboi. 8 hr. ago If she'd simply kept her mouth shut then no-one would be the wiser It probably would have taken longer if she kept her mouth shut, but she was still going to get caught eventually. Those kind of searches get logged in the system, and IT would have been able to trace it back to her pretty easily. It was always a matter of "when" not "if".
