Possible breach of contract

[lessir]

I had a previous co-worker (no longer in the company) from a company who sent an email containing some answers to a training questionnaire. This was found out by management and is now tracking everybody related to the incident.

I just received the email but never used the attachment, can my employer come after me?

Also, can my employer come after the old coworker for distributing the answers to anybody in the company?

Only if you assisted the former employee.

Possibly. Not enough information to comment.

Hello Rod,

Thanks for replying. I never assisted with them getting the answers, I just got that in an email.

Also, I think the my friend (former employee) made it for herself, including me.
