If you work on a computer at the office and have a company e-mail account, what are the chances your employer is spying on you? More than one-third of large companies now read every e-mail received and sent by employees. In fact, companies are hiring people whose sole job duty is to read other workers' e-mails. Half of companies use software AND human beings to scan e-mails. So, pretty much anything in your e-mail account is fair game. That also goes for your Hotmail, Yahoo and G-mail accounts, if you use them at work. When you are on an employer’s property and are using the employer’s equipment, they have the right to spy on you. It also goes for Blackberry devices that are technically company property. Your privacy extends to your home computer and the e-mail you send and receive there. So, don’t send obscene jokes or use profane language in e-mails. Employers look for “cuss” words as grounds for dismissal.
