Yea, waiting to hear the 2n'd part now...
Will update with the outcome, whether I receive a warning for excessive time off, renewed contract or end of service. Doing a bit of nail biting now too be honest but must say the 'Pax" medication I took last night before bedtime has helped me feel quite calm.
Thanks for coming back with an update. Whatever the feedback in this thread, people have raised valid concerns and I hope that you've at least learned something out of all this...
This has been a big learning experience, also my first disciplinary hearing. My first reason for initially posting here was looking for much needed advise, although the thread did seem to pick up criticism mostly. Although I hope now for someone else in a similiar situation, it will be a learning curve for them too.
But you didn't log into their emails for any of those reasons.
Also needing to do such things in at the first place screams for an evaluation of mail services configuration in your company because none of that should ever be necessary.
I manage all the email in our company and neither can I, nor have I ever been able to log into another person's mailbox. People should have their own passwords and the only way to get into that account from an administrator level would be to reset that password and that should raise many questions as to why it was reset in the first place and by who.
Correct, I completely agree with you. I do still hang my head in shame for what I did. We do have access to reset user password's and that is usually the preset default with a force change upon logon. Unfortunately alot of users do tend use the other company default, anyway that is not my baby when it comes to managing user passwords.
Thought I'd mention, I am thirty six years old, so don't feel as if I am suffering with entitlement. I am generally very responsible and a well rounded individual. Amazing at how all that falls away when the body is battling to cope. As I understand it, the work load with various triggers had caused stress on my body and was unable to produce endorphin's which assists with the natural coping mechanism. I still have to understand this whole depression debacle to give any more feedback.
