How can an employer force you to do something so repulsive and illegal?

What??? This sounds like some torture in a POW camp. We definitely need to know why this was going on.

Seems like an easy fix instead of making employees wait to transfer for 18 months, limit their exposure to four to six months with a maximum amount of viewing per day....

It’s a job that has to be done, you should not have to expose yourself to toxic amounts of viewing horrific images...

I’d rather work in a literal sewer than do their job. Involuntarily assignment is coercion and I would suggest even cruel and inhumane working conditions. When you’re hire for a job, that’s the job you do. If they were hired on specifically for this, then I don’t have near as much sympathy.

Either way, PTSD is very real, and no normal person could stand being repeatedly exposed to such vile filth. We don’t even expect our soldiers to spend 18 months in constant combat. Microsoft has shown gross disregard for these employees.

I’m surprised The Evil Empire doesn’t do a prison work outreach project to hire convicted pedophiles to look for kiddie porn...

‘Forced’??? Somehow I highly doubt it.

Exposure to traumatic material is a common event among trauma therapists. They are at risk for "secondary traumatization." The best preventives are 1) a solid personal emotional support system, i.e. Friends and family. The second is to have an agency-provided scheduled, expected debriefing service. Probability is, these Employees wouldn't have either readily available.

The depths of hell. Luke 17:2. “It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck.” The innocent Microsoft workers were not prepared to examine the garbage from hell and then developed real-life traumatic disorder and then got their request for worker’s comp denied. Perhaps the workers felt trapped, wanted to prevent others from doing the examining, and did not know how to verbalize traumatic disorders. Poor nerds. They need Microsoft to fund two years on at a beach house with weekly therapy and Bible study. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is the trick that fixes traumatic disorders.

I think that there are several groups that need to watch this and other 'difficult' videos.

The police just before they execute a warrant for the arrest of the perpetrators so they are prepared to do what should be done if necessary.

The defense attorney so he/she can see exactly what type of animal they are defending.

The jury before they render the verdict to ensure that justice is done.

The judge before he issues sentence to make sure the law is followed to the maximum.

I get upset when I accidentally come across pictures of animals being hurt, but to see a child beaten, molested and murdered would stick with me for a very long time. I think it would devastate me.

But as someone has already pointed out, it is important work for these employees to find and report the videos. I would never last in that job.

I worked in the Las Colinas office in Texas for a couple of years in a capacity totally unrelated to this subject and practically have PTSD simply from the way they treated employees.
