Have you heard of this? (work related)

At my work it seems that often when people leave IT keeps their e-mail account open and gives someone else in the company access to the account.

This makes absolutely no sense to me. If the person leaves turn off the frickin e-mail so that people get the drift they are no longer here. I just don't get it. If someone is trying to get in touch and they get the e-mail rejected I'm sure they can figure out another way to contact the company.

I thought that was a common thing. Every once in a while I still get emails from a company I left 3 yrs ago saying "this came in and I thought it looked important/personal."

Um, if people leave (in particular those that deal with clients), I have often left the emails on and redirected them for a time. Or at the very least put an auto response on so they know who to contact instead.

It's our job as a company to ensure we respond, not the client's to dig around for another contact.

Do you mean for vacation/weekend or forever? Cause I'll leave an autoreply if I'm gone for more than a day. However, if I were to leave my job permanently IT will forward my mail to the person that takes over my position.

Hmm that strikes me as odd. Maybe they're just snooping on what the person was doing?
