The answer to the rhetorical question is that it's easier to ask a techie to implement a technological solution, than it is to ask your managers to, well, manage. Techies love solving problems (real or perceived, true business need or no), and most middle managers despise or are miserable failures at managing. -----Original Message----- From: Doug Hampshire [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 10:10 AM Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List Conversation: Disclaimer Subject: RE: Disclaimer Do you remind people each and every day that it is a violation of company policy to use corporate office supplies for personal use? I serious doubt that you do. So why would you remind them every stinking time that they send an eMail of your corporate policy on eMail use? Post the policy where you post all your other corporate policies (Web page, employee handbook, etc) and have them acknowledge that they received a copy. Just like for every other policy in the company. Why is it the senior management across this country (nay, across the world) feels that they have to remind eMail users on a daily basis about corporate policy? They don't prefix every telephone call with a recording reminding them of the appropriate use of the phone? The next time a manager comes to you [1] asking for internal disclaimers, ask them if they are also implementing the phone recording message? It might just make them realize how silly their request is.
