[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, not great.

They cautioned me against reprimanding an employee who is not my direct report. My boss is their supervisor, I am the agency manager.

They advised I should not come across as adversarial if an issue like this should come up, and that I should have discussed it with HR or my boss to see if there's any policy against it first.

They will be revising the internet and computer usage policy against "personal gain", and had a conversation with the employee about their plans with the company. They say they dealt with the issue but will not divulge to me why or how.

I'm a little pissed and feel like they went over my head. I feel like I should have some say in the employees at my office, but whatever. [/quote]

It sounds like you work in a strange place but don't allow the cultural norms make you act crazy, because your reputation will outlast your stint with this one firm. It's weird that you checked the email of your non-employee. It may not seem weird to you now, but trust me, it's weird. You don't want to come off as obsessed with this guy, OP.  Spend your time more productively and back way off from this guy before he has grounds for bigger complaints. [/quote]

Yeah, everything they said is true.  You should not be reprimanding an employee who does not report to you, about something that you haven't even checked company policy on.  They should not be sharing the conversations they had with other employees with you.  [/quote]
