why the fuck would you have to ask to use the cmd prompt? if you didn't want me to fucking use it, disable it.
This. Group Policies and whatnot exist for a reason.

This a security company?
It sure seems like they got their crap together.
Chances are, someone hacked their network prior and probably used similar commands BEFORE they hacked it.
So those commands most likely send out alerts and notify proper people.
This company most likely took these actions based on their prior experience with their employees.
OPs boss most likely got a call from IT director stating that "one of your guys is about to hack our network or is doing suspicious things"
Rather than take any kind of risk he got rid of you.
Can you blame him?
Just don't tell us you were going up and beyond, cause you weren't.
IT is not allowed in our department without special authorization from our Director.
Furthermore, the only other person whom could authorize had left the company, hence the open position.
None of this happened.
That in itself should have told you that approval was required for you to enter their area of expertise. If there's no one who can authorize it, it's NOT AUTHORIZED.
Talk to a lawyer, not ATOT. They'll give you better advice.
So how did your boss know about your command line inputs?
All he had to do was ask!!! How hard is it to ask? Does it cost money? Letter from the President of the Company? argh!
Maybe if he asked then someone would of told him he could not do that or had to go through certain channels right?
At least he could of said, well Mr. Rogers in IT said I had permission to do what I did for example. Then the blame would be on Mr. Rogers right?
The key here is to let go of your former job. They suck, you can do better, you don't want to stay with a company that treats you that way. There are better things out there.
Start looking, NOW. Use any channel you can find. I recently found LinkedIn, and it seems to have the possibility to open many doors in the future if I need.
I am sorry to hear about your being let go. I got fired once, and it seemed devastating for a while. You will get through this.

Just an unlucky situation for you. If they never had employees hack their network etc, chances are none of this would have ever happened.

I'm not reading 4 pages and it wan't in the original post
How did your boss find out?
The supervisor observed me typing commands into a command prompt.
When asked by HR i divulged the information.
They did not verify anything i said with IT, no logs were checked.
Please stop. It's clear that you have no idea what those commands are or what you are talking about in regards to this issue.
And yes, if there's a false accusation of hacking that leads to a firing without proper investigation of the charges, I *do* blame them.
Long story short, my supervisor (whom had also put in for the position, and was far less qualified, he didnt even know how to install a wireless router in his home) turned me for "hacking the network".
post #14 you freaking noob
It doesn't matter what they mean.
He was canned and there was a good reason.
And what does the blame accomplish?
OP I think it all boils down to this:
Your supervisor exploited his position to get you fired so he could get the job.
It doesn't matter what they mean.
He was canned and there was a good reason.
And what does the blame accomplish?
Their argument was "you were in an unauthorized area on the computer, therefore it doesn't matter what commands you entered"
So, it doesn't matter what he did, the firing is justified. Makes absolutely perfect sense.
Nice way to twist my response. Your rhetorical question was a way of trying to say that their actions were reasonable. I'm just disagreeing - and there is no "good reason".
