"If you work at a major corporation, there's a 45% chance your employer is monitoring your e-mail, voice mail, computer files, phone calls or other work-related activities¡­"

"...Computer monitoring takes various forms, with 36% of employers tracking content, keystrokes and time spent at the keyboard. Another 50% store and review employees¡¯ computer files. Companies also keep an eye on e-mail, with 55% retaining and reviewing messages."

" Most employers reserve the right to view employee e-mail sent on internal networks. And to a large degree, the principle that employers must be allowed to use some tools to maintain a safe and productive workplace is accepted."

"Experts say companies are under increasing pressure to monitor employees electronically, and workers should assume they are being watched. New products allow companies to monitor absolutely everything passing over their network, from e-mails to instant messages, in any language without the end user's knowledge."
