I get that, but if bosses were meant to constantly check their employees emails, don't you think HR would give them everyone's login info? This is a large company and we are constantly getting company-wide emails saying never to share passwords with each other, etc. Also, not that it matters, but all home email services are blocked at work. I do realize that most people are comparing this situation with their own personal workplace environment and I respect that every workplace is different, hence all the different opinions. No big deal to me, I just thought is was really odd, that's all. My boss thinks it's really weird too, so I don't have to worry about it happening to me. Either way, I'm not giving my boss any of my login info ever. If I'm ever out of the office, I just set up an out of office reply with info on who to call in my absence.
Yup. Where I work, they have yearly meetings essentially to have a lawyer remind us all that "reasonable right to privacy" doesn't exist at work.
Holy crap, this would have won the DaDakota "my boss is a control freak" thread. The Boss has too much time on his hands. He needs more to do or a cf.net account.
When I used to work for the tyrant, all email pwds and login pwds were all the same for everyone. That gave the old buzzard access to everything with only one pwd....of course it gave everyone else the same access
Next time, get two helpings. Keep the regular one under your desk and snack from there. Take the other, spice it up with hot, hot peppers, and set it out for your boss to find. This will cure the problem.
