Officially, the misuse of employer provided e - mail. Practically, something that you get accused of when your work want you to leave / block a promotion / sack people without paying redundancy costs etc. Usually ends with being hit with the disciplinary hammer, generally with a view to sacking your ass. Employee is called to a meeting and presented with a pile of e - mails.
Manager: We've audited your inbox and these e - mails are completely unacceptable and represent e - mail abuse and a breach of the Code of Conduct. What did you mean when you wrote 'I'd smack that back door' when writing about my PA? HR Manager: Think carefully about your answer. Sexual Harrasment and non work usage of electronic media is a dismissable offence. Employee: I was referring to her great ass and saying I'd like to show it love. I thought it was flattering. Manager: That's not an appropriate way to behave in a disciplinary hearing. HR Manager: I refer you to your e - mail asking Joe if he had seen the murmur pants on display in Finance. What are murmur pants? Employee: You should know. You told me. HR Manager: This isn't about me. Employee: It's a tight pair of female pants that mean you can see the lips moving but you can't hear a sound. Is there any point in continuing this discussion? HR Manager & Manager No |
