So I was adding an additional inbox to my outlook account at work (I am a longterm freelancer of 3 years - basically an employee) and noticed in permissions that a work colleague had access to my inbox. Not a boss, a work colleague. I am livid. This means they have had access and have no idea for how long. I have no reason to worry from a misdemeanor point of view, I work hard - however I feel this is a gross invasion on privacy. What I suspect it is is my immediate boss (of sorts) who is buddies with this guy perhaps arranged this with IT. The work colleague doesnt have the IT skills to arrange or do such a thing so I suspect this - or him in cahoots with the IT dept.

What should I do?? Should I speak to the head of my dept? (Who probably has no idea). Should I speak to IT and ask who authorised this? HR? Or should I keep shtum? Will speaking out risk my contract? I am livid, but need to deal with this is a calm manner...
 
jamoor - there is nothing top secret, but there is such a thing as privacy esp to a work colleague on the same pay grade.
