Re: internet policy at work

your office email, computer and internet system do not provide you with ANY right of privacy. do not use these systems to say or do anything that you wouldnot want your employer to know about.

This has been tested in court. So, the answer is that there really aren't any boundaries so long as you are using your emplooyer's system.

Your employer should have an internet and email policy in its employment manual advising you of these thing.

let me know if you have any further questions.
