Of those who took an <A href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22732064/index.html"><SPAN id="lw_1218057918_2" class="yshortcuts">msnbc.com survey</SPAN></A> that asked how   often workers send or receive personal e-mails on the job, 14 percent said they   do "constantly." An additional 31 percent said "very often." More than 50   percent said they "sometimes or occasionally" use personal e-mail at work, and   only 9.3 percent said they "never do."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://finance.yahoo.com/career-work/article/105525/7-Ways-Your-Email-Can-Get-You-Fired"><P>Even if most workers may get away with it, companies <EM>are</EM> using e-mail   as grounds for firing. According to a survey by the American Management   Association and the ePolicy Institute, over half of all employers fire workers   for e-mail and Internet abuse. The survey also found that of the 43 percent of   companies that monitor workers' e-mail, 73 percent use technology tools to   automatically monitor it and 40 percent assign an individual to read and review   the e-mail manually.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AE24A8B6-3CAE-4CA3-982C-94E9B5FB27AF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
