Two employees talk shit over email about their boss. Boss finds out. Fires them. Judge rules in favor of company because the computers were company property hence boss had right to read anything on it.
Law sometimes protects against third party eavesdropping but not when the third party is an "insider." So the police (outsider) can't eavesdrop on you but your boss (insider) can.
If you're an employee and want privacy, you may just have to encrypt your emails. But that's a huge pain in the butt.

The author tells us the reason some oppose deletion of government electronic mail at the end of P2: “Opponents of such practices argue that the paper versions often omit such information as who received the messages and when they received them, information commonly carried on electronic mail systems. Government officials, opponents maintain, are civil servants; the public should thus have the right to review any documents created during the conducting of government business.”
The reason given at the end of P2 doesn’t involve the extent to which the government cares about secrecy. The reason is that people should have the right to review documents created during the conduct of government business, because government officials are civil servants.
This best captures the reason given at the end of P2. Some argue that because government officials are civil servants, the public should have the right to review documents created during government business. This reason relates to the role of the government and its accountability to the people it serves. They serve the public, so the public should be able to review their documents.
The reason given at the end of P2 doesn’t involve a legal requirement to keep duplicates. Although people who are in favor of allowing deletion argue that the messages are already in a paper form, we’re being asked about the argument given by the people who are opposed to deletion.
The reason given at the end of P2 doesn’t involve the claim that the government has guidelines against destruction of their own records.
