Work E-mail

More than 52 per cent Indians in a survey said they could not last a day without checking their work or personal e-mail, while 57 per cent said they felt anxiety over being unplugged.

Hillary Clinton did not hand over at least 15 emails from her time as US Secretary of State, the State Department said on Thursday, undercutting her claim that the 30,000 work emails she provided from her personal server were a complete record.

After years in which the ease of instant communication via e-mail and smartphones allowed bosses to place greater and greater demands on white-collar workers, some companies are beginning to set limits, recognizing that successful employees must be able to escape from work.

When ousted Barclays CEO Bob Diamond said he felt "physically ill" reading e-mails of his traders crowing over interest rate manipulation, he was almost certainly telling the truth. The veteran banker said it was the first he knew that employees had worked to artificially inflate the London interbank rate LIBOR.

An email claiming to be from India's ace racqueter Saurav Ghoshal, seeking monetary help on Tuesday created confusion among squash fraternity, which later proved to be a handy work of hackers.
