Yesterday, I covered for reception for the day. Since I need to work from the reception desk frequently, my email is signed in to the receptionist’s computer. This is the case for other coworkers as well.
I needed to find an email I sent a while back, so typed a key word into Outlook’s search bar. The default settings caused my coworker’s email to show up.
These women have spoken badly about every single person in the office since I’ve been here (which seems to be a major reason for the high turnover at the firm), so I expected this would happen and have been ignoring it for the most part. The issue I have is that the claims in this email are entirely wrong.
Is it a bad idea to email them explaining they’ve misunderstood the situation they were gossiping about?
