The secret to staying ahead of the games as a telecommuter is simple:
* Do not respond to any gossip emails from subordinates or peers. Pick up the phone so there is no paper trail.
* Respond to your bosses' emails by being noncommittal, or ask for clarification -- copy their boss in the reply.
* Do not send any emails you would not be happy for the whole world to read several times.
Three simple sentences, easy said than done. Especially when it is human nature to respond by curiosity and spurs of moment than wait and see and respond afterthought.
"SLEEP OVER IT" might be a good choice, too, especially when it comes to respond "emotional" emails or any.
Trust me, bad emails are hard to undone than spoken words and give bigger and more dangerous impacts than stationery mails, because it is easier to be distributed around, another spur of the moment thing.
