You check personal email on work laptop. Quick. No big deal. You use work email to sign up for a newsletter. Convenient. But your employer owns that work email. They can read it. Search it. Retain it forever. And if you leave, you lose everything attached to it. πŸ’ΌπŸ“§
Work email is for work. Period. Employers have legal rights to monitor company accounts. Personal accounts on work devices can be searched during investigations. Work email used for personal accounts means you lose access when employment ends. And if you're ever investigated, your personal life becomes company property.
Here's how to maintain separation:
πŸ“§ Never use work email for personal accounts or signups πŸ“§ Never access personal email on work devices πŸ“§ Never store personal files in work cloud accounts πŸ“§ Use separate browsers for work and personal πŸ“§ If remote, use different user profiles or devices πŸ“§ Assume everything on work systems is monitored
Your personal life belongs to you. Keep it that way.
