in thread non-business language

If your employer is monitoring your communications, which every employer has a right to do, ...

Not necessarily! In Germany for instance _if_ the company allows private email the company is not allowed to look at the content, even if it may contain viruses in attachments. In this case the personal rights are stronger than the companies rights. And allowing email is not done by explicitly stating that, it is enough if the company just don't checks whether you receive private email or not...

(all this is valid in case I didn't get something wrong...)

    I do not know German law. But I did learn something today.

    Thank You stefan_k!

    Please note that I used italics on the word right in that first phrase.

    IMHO, business is about making money, not monitoring what people read while at work unless it doesn't contribute to the overall picture. If using Perl Monks makes an employee more productive, then use it.

    IMHO, Language is just a method of communicating thoughts and bad words are for emphasis.
