Can I Use My Company Email to Apply Jobs?
2008-02-12 10:34:00 The answer: You can, but you MUST NOT. In fact, you should never use it for any other purposes except for work related matters. Why? Some of you ask. You are curious as you have been using your company’s email address not only to apply jobs, but to disseminate unethical, and perhaps, unlawful information and materials. My answer is: You are not worried because you have not been a subject for disciplinary action, or have not come across a friend who gets a warning letter (or even terminated) due to improper email activities. Well, yours truly have. An office mate of mine was handed a warning later after persistently forwarding high-graphic contents, which clogged the company’s server. Another 2 rounds of warnings and you are as good as done. If you must know, the company can direct the IT team to monitor the staff’s email activities, and keep track of whatever information you have received, or sent. In fact, I know a number of companies which do exactly this. Last 2 weeks, a fr... More About: Email , Jobs , Company
