Because every e-mail you write could wind up in court

email_64x64 This article caught my mind : 23 Things Not To Write in an Email.  During the Lehman Brothers’ investigation,  apparently, the examiners found suspicious emails by specifically searching for these 23 phrases:

 

  • stupid
  • huge mistake
  • big mistake
  • dumb
  • can’t believe
  • cannot believe
  • serious trouble
  • big trouble
  • unsalvageable
  • shocked
  • speechless
  • too late
  • uncomfortable
  • not comfortable
  • I don’t think we should
  • very sensitive
  • highly sensitive
  • very confidential
  • highly confidential
  • do not share this
  • don’t share this
  • between you and me
  • just between us
  • So, just between us, be very careful when you include any of the phrases above in your highly confidential emails. The damage may be unsalvageable and you can get into serious trouble >.< . In fact, I think very sensitive issues should not be communicated via emails! That’s just so dumb.
