Come on now Mark. You're a big boy...you should be accountable for this. Don't blame TA...it was still YOUR choice to surf TA while you were supposed to be working.
I love you, but you have no sympathy from me!

aw, come on now...without specific details, *no one* here (myself obviously included) is in a position to say for certain that there is or is not legal recourse.
it depends on many factors...such as the length of employment and his wage/salary, and if the company followed THE LAW with regard to termination with just cause.
If he was there for a year, making $10/hour...not worth pursuing, whether a legal termination or not. If it's a higher paying job where he had years of tenure...it could be worth it.
I didn't say to run out and retain a lawyer and take it to court...I said to look into it. anyone can look up the relevant legislation online...or may a free phone call to a lawyer.
whatever...if he has something else lined up, it may be pointless to investigate...but extra severance/settlement pay is worth the time to at least look into it, IMHO.

Ok, I agree with you. Anybody can sue/negotiate due to wrongful dismissal.
However - good luck fighting being fired because of messing around on the internet at work after receiving a warning for such.
