okay so i just started a new job and i have my own email address with the corporation. my boyfriend and i were e-mailing which is fine but then he sent me something saying "can i show you my talents" which correlates with my job, i'm somewhat of a talent scout. im freaking out because i know that companys monitor emails and i'm scared that they are going to see this inuendo and fire me or something!! should i be worried?! i told him not to talk to me and am considering breaking up with him because this is my career and i worked soooo hard to get here! HELP!!

Use a personal email account.
Personally i wouldnt use a work email for anything unless it correlated with work.
Just to be on the safe side of things anyway.
i know some employers are kind of strict on that kind of thing, even if its an innocent email....so yeah.

Does this smell like chloroform to you?
Oh I watch you there through the window. And I stare at you. You wear
nothing but you wear it so well tied up and twisted
the way I'd like to be.

It is unlikely that they would fire you for that simple comment. But it isn't a good habit to get into to use your professional email address for personal contact. Stop emailing your boyfriend on your work account.

Just because your mom emails you doesn't make it "ok". If you can help it, don't do it. It's just not worth the hassle and the worry. Especially if your boyfriend is going to send you stuff like that.

jeeze, don't break up with him. it isn't his fault. you were the irresponsible one, flirt-emailing your boyfriend on your work-monitored email. whether you know the company to be "okay" with personal emails or not, i would use a different account for everything non work related, just to avoid worries like these altogether.

delete the email in question. i'[m sure they probably won't see it, and if they do, that's hardly the stuff that warrants firing. just don't be a dummy in the future, and take responsible for your own shit. it's your job, not his - your responsibility, not his.

One, i didn't initiate the flirting. we were discussing something prior to that comment. and two, i told him to make sure that if we e-mail he needs to be appropriate. i told him multiple times. so yes, it's his fault. he should have known better. .

nope, sorry, still yours.

you cannot control what other people will do, you can only control what you do. you had control over which account you emailed him from, and chose your work-monitored one over a seperate personal account. if you got in any troule over this (which honestly, i doubt you will, so chill) he should feel bad for the role he played in it, but ultimately it was your email, your job on the line, your fault.
