olasquare22: Very true, while I was in the bank, we would send mails from both our OWA or even personal emails configured on our devices. However, I think he should have removed the BlackBerry signature. Nevertheless, the HR person over did it, it's no so much a crime to warrant service termination |

Here, all employees were given to be able to respond to email anytime. The BlackBerry was also set for everyone's official signature. There was a time I got a new replacement blackberry and had not reset the signature from "Sent from Blackberry.." I sent an email to a top level person in our UK office with that BlackBerry signature and she just put a comment/reminder after replying my message, that I should change my BB email signature to official. I have not remembered to change, but will do now. That said, it is a very flimsy excuse to sack someone because of that. The person should just be corrected, and at worst given a mild query. Not a sackable offence. |

He didnt tell you the whole gist, he and the MD are eyeing the same babe. The MD secretary, sending such mail with the BB signature was careless, but sacking him for that is just too high handed. Other ''things'' are involved. |

stop being pretentious 1) you should be more concerned about the actual message 2) it shows your mobile (not at desk), good to know if a request is made In my opinion, it's better than this dull, pointless signature : [size=15pt]your name again[/size]which is also shown in email header official title I don't care about obvious company name see email address antiquated land and facsimile numbers *cell phone* most useful info surrounded by garbage info Obvious company website see email address after '@' ...and most times the actual email content only has a short response like "yes" or "fixing" (from colleagues) "Sent from blackberry" or iPhone works just fine. Poor reason to sack someone |

Bollinger: you sound like you work for the CIA or KGB,well it all boils down to clear communication,either the company policy didn't clearly state that BlackBerry mailing is prohibited or the employee failed to read and comprehend the stated policy . |
Re: Sacked For Sending Official Mail With Blackberry by lonelydora: 10:29am On Apr 19, 2015 |
Yes. it's not right to send an official mail with a personal gadget. What happened to the office computers? It shows laziness. |

lonelydora: Not really its about the Signature and Logo, our company allows it but i will never do it, that's taking work home with me i'd rather visit my mail online. |

smokeyupu: There is nothing wrong sending from your BlackBerry, but at least not with that signature.What you don't know is that every communication made via BlackBerry is stored in RIM servers abroad.So if you're a terrorist organisation or National security data sensitive type of firm,then the company's policy could have already stated its preferred channel of communication . 1 Like |

kachnov: True. I would also assume that it must have been in the company policy, else he would not be fired. This is also assuming the damn story is not a MOD story. |

Horlufemi: You just got it. He's a millionaire in waiting as long as 1. He didn't work there for too long, so can edit that work experience from his CV. This is important when going for another job due to reference. 2. There's nothing clearly spelt out in the company's policy making it unlawful for him to have sent a mail from his smartphone with or without the 'sent from ...' signature. 1 Like |

pcguru1: That's why I said laziness, taking work home. Well, it also depends on your job functions. I always edit that Samsung signy whenever I use my phone. What I use depends on who I want to send the mail to. |

Canadians send official mails with their bb on the go.Depends on the urgency and want of convenience not the signature.Cheap lies.They wanted him out already if maybe true .. |

If that organization is service focused that is totally unacceptable, I am an ATM custodian I monitor my machines on my mobile device and I response to mails via the same channel. However You should read the policy very well |
Re: Sacked For Sending Official Mail With Blackberry by dabigwalls: 11:59am On Apr 19, 2015 |
Cheap company. The Blackberry brand alone is probably not mate with the sacking company. I guess that fellow was sacked for other reasons. You don't wanna know what industry changes have occured via emails sent from Blackberry phones. The company is probably not high flying, a dinosaur and definitely not on top. |

Them no sack am well self . People are been sacked for even using personal email to send official mail let alone BB. The only thing that will warrant sending a mail with ur BB should be that you are a field staff and you are sending a design from field to town 1 Like |
