    Been asked to change my email signature

    I am 4 mnths into a 6 mnth gig.

    My signature was

    Pleomax
    MyCo for and on behalf of

    Client Co
    Addy etc

    Why would they want me to do this now? No one has mentioned it before and i have sent loads of emails internally and externally?

    Pleomax

    This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

      It's not silly, I've worked for a few clients that have contracted to another client and email sigs have said "on behalf of xxxx"

        Did you add your companyco details to your signature by consent from someone in Compliance (or whatever the equivelant is)? If not then they are well within their rights to ask you to change it as soon as they have spotted it.

        If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

          It is silly, and much gayness.

          If I was forced to put in a sig then I would ask to put consultant in as my title but keep in the client co details.

            If you are using the clients email system/address: As others have said, it's stupid, external/internal clients don't need to know the inner workings of your clients department. Imagine if everyone started to do it

            If you are using your own email system/Address: Still stupid as you should not have the bits referring to client

              WHS+ If you want to have "This is not really from an employee of Client X, it's from Mr B of Company Y so I am not employed by Client X and don't forget it!" bits in your email (that, lets face it, add zilch value to the message), use your own email domain, not the clients.
