Well, it’s happened again. Someone with no common sense fired off an email that got him in huge hot water. A school board member decided to wax philosophical on his views on race and intelligence, put them in an email and press "send." I will not repeat his offensive words in this post. We all know that everything is discoverable. What was this guy thinking?
Needless to say, the board has asked him to resign. Can you imagine—He’s “thinking” it over! So again, the lessons learned:
1. Always read your writing aloud.
2. Always ask yourself the question: Would I really say this to someone?
3. Don’t send anything inflammatory, illegal, or sexual in nature.
4. If mad, count to ten.
Any other ideas you have to add to this short list? Our guest expert on email liability later this month will share with you how to keep yourself and your company out of legal trouble.
