Many workplaces have acceptable use policies (AUP's) that employees know about. Some of those put it in writing and let the employees know, others don't. Along with these AUP's, admins have access to all emails and router logs (web sites visited).
These policies are in place so management can make sure employees are not spending to much company time doing personal things on the internet.
I have a friend who got upset because the self proclaimed IT person in her office was monitoring all the email in the office, internal and external. Her stance was like, but if I do it while on my break they shouldn't be able to see it" until I pointed out that she was still using the company equipment, resources and bandwidth.
I don't think these folks should have been fired for this. I'd report kiddie porn in a heart beat.
As someone once said: It's great to be the Administrator, the Administrator watches everyone. But, who watches the Administrator?
