Dear Dr. Mimi – Do You Feel Violated?

Dear Dr. Mimi:
Is it wrong for my boss to go through my work email? I sometimes use it for personal stuff. I know she reviews it because she will mention something that she could only know checking my email.

In any case, I would strongly suggest that you keep your work email and your personal correspondence separate, especially since you know she is checking it.
—Dr. Mimi
