Here is why I show you what happens to those that use their work email id as part of their personal ad.
Though this seems trivial and pretty much basic, and though this dating tip focuses on something that no one in their right mind will do, I felt I must state the obvious: when you create a personal ad, use your personal email id and not the one you use at work.
Why Not?
- Your work will object. One of the main reasons for not doing this is that your job might (and most probably will) object. The email id you received from work has been given to you for professional and work-related purposes only. It resides on a server that belongs to the company and thus is also open to all those wish to read and scrutinize it. And if you are getting angry, remember: the work computer, email and everything you use belongs to the company and they have the right to check whether anyone is using their equipment for other purposes.
- Privacy: When you use your work email id, not only will everyone else get to know who you are, but they will be able to locate you without any trouble. Do you really want all kinds of nasty men or women troubling you? Another thing to take into account is that your co-workers might stumble onto it and then ridicule you. Why should you even take that risk?
What will happen if I use it anyway?
If your job finds out, you will most probably get fired!
And that's exactly what happened to a young woman who used her work email in the personal ad she posted where she advertised that she was looking for someone to father a child with her. The location: the auditor's office in Thurston County. The young girl posted this personals on Craigslist and unfortunately for her, the County office found it.
