I believe *I* wrote WHAT.
Have I seen it happen? No, but it's been in employee manuals at two
companies I've worked in.
I doubt they'd actually FIRE you for receiving it, but it IS a red flag.
If they saw evidence of actual 2-way correspondence with the offending
party, they could come down on you. And I've had a lot of 2-way
correspondence with that word in it today (offlist), which I could have
done without. Every company I've worked for screens e-mail, some more
actively than others. I don't need any extra reasons to get laid off,
thank you.
Not defending it. I was just trying to clarify it for a poster who
apparently lives in a different world than I do.
Me? I'm not that frickin' sensitive. But I'm at work, like many of you.
Talk dirty to me at home.
