When I was working for a law firm, an M&I employee...

When I was working for a law firm, an M&I employee kept calling our office because of a debt owed by one of our employees. The M&I employee told me that it was for our employee’s business, and even disclosed the name of the business. I told this individual that I felt uncomfortable being made privy to this information, but that I would make sure that our employee received the message.

Over the course of several weeks, the M&I employee kept calling at least once a week to complain that our employee wasn’t calling back. Due to the nature of our employee’s position and his other business, our employee was never in the office when these calls came in, although I continued to give him the messages.

The last time I spoke with the M&I employee, he informed me that our employee had defaulted on his loan. I finally decided to send a complaint to M&I via its online form concerning these harassing calls and the disclosure of confidential financial information. I admit that I called the M&I employee a few childish names in my complaint – but I said nothing profane or threatening. Nonetheless, I received no response.

More than a week after my complaint, M&I’s security department contacted my employer, alleging that my complaint was a “security threat.” Instead of carefully considering all the facts, my boss chose to overreact, firing me on the spot.

M&I may be a good place to open a checking account, if you're not concerned about things like keeping your financial information confidential, or freedom of speech.

I work for a major life insurance Co in Milwaukee on the phones in customer service, & would be canned in an instant if I gave out a client's confidential info. That employee might have a winnable lawsuit on his hands.
