Hi Everyone,
There was recently a complaint filed against me via email that was sent to my manager and the senior manager of my department from a fellow employee. I know very well what the complaint was about before they even confronted me about it, however I have one question. If the senior manager brought the email into the meeting with him, had it face down, and used that as evidence AGAINST me, do I have every right to read that email and see what it entitles? Is it too late to ask to read it? Or can I confront them about it today and ask to read said email in question. I suspect that if an employee sends an email requesting confidentiality that management would NOT bring it into the meeting with them. I'm not really sure how this works. Please help!
Also, the contents of the email were a copied/pasted instant message which I had sent to a fellow employee using company resources (internal instant text messaging program). The contents were intercepted by another employee (access to computer) and then copied/pasted into the email to my managers. Are instant messages considered to be confidential sort of like emails, and can this information aquired be used against me? Instant messages are also easily edited and manipulated.
