![]()
New research from the American Management Association, Clearswift and the ePolicy Institute finds that one in five U.S. companies have fired an employee for abusing corporate e-mail accounts. But workers aren't the only ones getting flamed. According to the report, some 14% of all organizations have been ordered to turn over copies of e-mail to a court or regulatory body. Looking for loopholes? Even while the monitoring of Internet-bound e-mail is near ubiquitous -- 90% of companies do it -- only 19% of businesses keep an eye on internal e-mail, which remains the most likely sort to get people in a snit, or a lawsuit.
