SACKED | Pregnant worker caught spying on staff emails and spending hours 'pram shopping'

A pregnant employee was sacked after bosses discovered she was spending hours each day online shopping and snooping on co-workers' personal records, the Metro reports.

Paige Mowatt spent more than 10 hours viewing ‘non-work-related material’ in just 15 days, after starting to work from home at the start of the pandemic, according to an employment tribunal.

The publication said that, as well as researching baby products, she carried out a “sustained and calculated” search of her colleagues’ messages and sick notes.

Her behaviour was exposed after bosses at One Call Insurance in Doncaster, looked into her computer activity, after they learned a customer’s car insurance policy, which Mowatt was responsible for, had not been renewed.
