These are the same people that would raise holy hell if their paycheck was short by thirteen cents but can’t remember a simple rule about email in their employee’s handbook.

The primary problem is inconsistent enforcement. What should employees think when their own bosses violate the policy?

Much of what is in employee handbooks are there so that in case of a lawsuit the company can attempt to absolve itself by pointing at the "rules". But in reality they aren't the real rules. No one typically cares. Unless they want to lay some folks off without compensation....

That said, no reason to be stupid and make it easy for a corrupt boss or HR person. So keep the bad stuff out of emails and make them work harder to find ways to get out of paying unemployment.
