Your First Job: Ten Critical Things That Nobody Tells You
8. Assume Everyone Has Access To Your Email
This is an easy one. Assume everyone has access to your email, because it’s true. I was a CIO for 20 years and my team always managed the corporate email system. Whenever there was a problem with an employee or a vendor, legal and HR would come to my office and ask me to provide them access or search for an email. On top of that, your emails are backed up so even when you delete them there is typically a copy still floating around, searchable.
Do not send any personal emails from your work email, it’s just not good practice. You will get too comfortable over time and write something you regret. Don’t ever complain about other employees or be negative. Be brief and business oriented all the time and you will stay out of hot water.
