BUSINESSWEEK ONLINE : JULY 10, 2000 ISSUE
BUSINESSWEEK LIFESTYLE Staying Out of Trouble -- Know your company's written policy. Ask your boss what constitutes ''unreasonable'' or ''inappropriate'' use. -- If you have any doubts about what personal Internet use your company allows, total abstinence is the best bet. -- Use your own e-mail account instead of your company's for personal correspondence at work. -- Limit personal surfing and e-mail to times clearly outside office hours. -- Consider software to encrypt e-mail and use Web sites that let you surf anonymously. But such moves offer no legal protection--and can raise red flags with your employer. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _					RELATED ITEMS Someone to Watch Over You TABLE: They Snoop to Conquer TABLE: Staying Out of Trouble INTERACT E-Mail to Business Week Online
