I can honestly say that I I have never snooped in my wife’s email inbox but it helps that she doesn’t have one I guess, or that I learned at a very early age that you venture into a woman’s private domain at your own peril. Heck I don’t even go in her purse or wallet however it seems that this isn’t a feeling shared by everyone these days.

According to a new study from the folks at Retrevo you guys and gals out there sure do want to know what your spouses are writing or talking to.

• 30% of all men in the study check the email or call history of their spouse
• 35% of women do the same thing

Married couples are even worse

• 32% of men do the snooping
• 41% of women do the snooping

When it comes to their kids it seems that 37% of parents have no problem snooping in on their kid’s online life.

As for tracking spouses and family members by using their phones GPS feature, most people say they would never sink this low (68%), but a good number of respondents (20%) did say they would use this feature if they became suspicious of their spouses or partners. When it comes to their kids, though, most parents have very little issues with tracking them, though. Just under 60% of parents would happily use GPS technology to track their offspring.

Wow, there sure a lot of snoopy spouses out there, at least when it comes to email is a post from: The Inquisitr

The study, conducted by Proofpoint, shows 41 percent of large U.S. companies — those with 20,000 or more employees — admit to having staff members in charge of monitoring or analyzing outgoing emails. About 30 percent of all companies, small or large, have such staff. And get this: Half of them say their virtual hall monitors have no other duties outside of watching you.

More than a quarter of employers say they’ve fired someone based on what they’ve found in the last year. The most common concerns? “Adult, obscene, or potentially offensive content.”

Of course, it’s not just messages they’re monitoring. Eleven percent of U.S. companies say they’ve punished employees for what they’re doing on blogs or message boards during company time. Thirteen percent have disciplined workers for their social network time.

In other news, I don’t know if you got the memo, but we’re using the new cover sheets on all our TPS reports now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that’d be great.
