I read an email I wish I hadn't - Should I tell someone
I work in the IT Dept of a manufacturing company where I upgrade users' computers. In the process I move their files and email account to the new computer.
On someone I was upgrading recently, I saw an email (it was what their email opened up to) relating to them finding a new job. It was from a friend or relative encouraging the employee to leave us & go to the new employer (where friend now works).
Should I tell my boss, or their boss, or HR? Or just leave it be?

Leave it be.
Private e-mails are just that. Private. The e-mail was not involved in any illegality or anything like that. It is none of you, or your boss's, or HR's business.
Think about it this way.
If the company loses an employee when they werent expecting to, theyll be fine. Turnover is part of business.
If your friend decides to stay where he is and then gets fired, it could hurt him.
If you are posting this from work, stop doing so, and address things like this from home.

Do not tell anything. I am sure it would get you
fired. In a job like yours it is up to you not
to repeat things read in personal email found
while working on a persons computer.
Just forget you ever saw it. As has been said
people have every right to look for other jobs.
It is not a crime, and you have no way of knowing
if they will take the other job or not. Either
way it should be none of your business. :)

YOu should keep this info to yourself. It wasn't shared with you, and you came across it by accident. No one knows and the employee expects that their privacy should be respected. (except in cases of child porn, that you are supposed to report) Now people change jobs all the time, it happens. No employer has a right to expect an any employee is going to stay with them for life. Your employer will manage. It is all part of being in business. That is how he/she should feel anyway. Employers don't own us.

well, first of all. Don't be worried about this problem. Okay, if you REALLY like this job then you should tell your boss and her soon to be new boss but, if you don't want to create ANY PROBLEMS then i sugest you keep it on the D-L. DOWN LOW. well, if you have any more QUESTIONS feel free to ask ME. (:

Well I think you should just let it be. I mean even if you did tell your boss, that still wouldnt change your friends opinion. I think you should just leave it be, because if you told someone then it would just cause more conflict.
I hope I helped
Good Luck :)
