I understood that these were separate accounts in separate systems, they just had the same email address attached to both because it was convenient to log into each system from separate workstations - a little bit like using a company phone for a personal telephone call. When one company (Atlassian) acquired the other (Trello), the "accounts" were merged by someone who has no taste.

I don't agree with this at all, and thankfully tort doesn't work this way.

Indeed. This is a big reason why I don't like to create "free" accounts, because I know unless I pay them, I cannot sue them for fucking something like this up.

- pdonis 7y ago> I understood that these were separate accounts in separate systems That's not what I'm seeing in any of the examples discussed in this thread. What I'm seeing is one account which started out as a personal account, then the person added their work email to it so they could get access to their employer's data through that account--instead of creating a separate work account under their work email. Now their "personal" account isn't just personal any more; they have given their employer a means of controlling it, since their employer controls their work email. And then they have problems down the road. The solution to those problems is to never attach an email you don't control to an account you want to have sole control over.
