Cussing Welfare Worker Back at Job

Item: Cussing welfare employee back at job: Supervisor was on paid leave during investigation/JoNel Allecia, Spokesman-Review

More Info: A North Idaho child welfare supervisor who accidentally left an expletive-laden message on the phone of a parent is back at work, against the wishes of state Sen. Mike Jorgenson. Randy Geib, a 34-year veteran with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, was allowed to return after an investigation. Agency officials wouldn't say Wednesday whether he was disciplined, citing personnel rules.

Question: Was this handled appropriately?
