If it's done right, I can't see there being a parade along with an announcement in the newsletter.
"There goes 'Old Crashy' again"
Its easy for me, I don't spend my working time with anybody in particular, I have a very solitary job.
So its very easy to not give a monkeys.
That said though, I never take work home - on a personal level - I don't socialise with my work mates be them the ones I like or not.
Were it not for the fact I need the wage, I would not be there or know them.
So, theres two aspects of me not being bothered about what they think. Bottom line for me is I know I do my job to the best of my ability, I'm not perfect, who is?
But, if anybody did dislike me, would I let it get to me? I don't think so. Bigger fish & all that I guess in my case?
Anyway, nothing more annoying to an antagonistic type than to be ignored imo.....
My 2p anyway!

change your email sig to Charmless Idiot on work email?
He's not being bullied - nobody said anything to his face. It was two colleagues discussing him in what they mistakenly thought was a private setting.

Get a grip.
Nobody has harrased you. Nobody has walked up to you and called you lazy.
Two people had a private conversation, perhaps foolishy, and you read it.
What are you going to do next, advocate thought police incase somebody dares mutter to a mate in the corridor 'Damn that Colbaker, he's a bit of a...'?
I would be far more bothered about wondering what I'd done to make them think that and trying to put it right than seeing which bit of the company policy I could get them into trouble over
Na i work nights, Am at home at the moment.

Except that he is more than vindicated in wanting to take this further, two people conducting a defamatory (mildly so) conversation about him, it doesn't involve him but the person responsible for the email being able to be read is likely breaching more than just a few Company guidelines from the fact he left his workstation unlockerd.
How was the Op to know that it wasn;t intended for him to read the email until after reading skimming it, after all if you walked into work, attempted to sign into a pc and saw your name highlighted would you not perhaps think that perhaps there might be something needing your attention?

If your named in the email then do a data protection request for all the information the company holds on you meaning you would have to be provided copies?
I get called far worse than that in emails on a daily basis. Some of them are even sent actually to me.
I couldn't care less. I view work only as a device for earning money (and from getting away from nattering wife). I don't engage in it personally.
