Never write something in e-mail that you wouldn't be happy seeing forwarded to the person you're talking about.
Always keep records of what you've said and agreed, people will have a different recollection of events down the line, and a written record is very handy at that point.
- vl 8y agoI have a good one: Give negative feedback in private email, then it gets forwarded to multiple layers of management behind your back, then a single quote from this email out of context is cut-n-pasted into your perf review few months later by management. (Happened in big advertising company that also runs search engine).
