View submission: Are you *really* anonymous here?
Because it can be. So many people don't realize anything they wrote in an email at work can be discoverable in a lawsuit. They may have deleted it, but the company's system probably still has it archived. Don't write a work email that doesn't make you look good.

We had to look at 100,000 emails in discovery one time, a week to do and zero software to use to sift thru it (early 00s). So lots of lawyers reading email all day.

I go even a step further with this. I refuse to be an asshole in writing. I’ve never been in a fight via text. I will argue face to face, no problem. But I never want written evidence of being a dick. If my wife sends an angry text, I will answer with a phone call. But I have never gone on a profanity laced rant in writing. Especially to my wife.
