Legal Question in Employment Law in Oklahoma

employee behavior standards
The employee handbook states the email rules which indicate ''no personal emails''.
A manager stands up in a meeting and overrides the handbook rules by stating that although ''we're not supposed to send personal emails but we're all human and we all do it. just be careful not to send an email to someone who will get offended''
Would the manager's statement imply that personal emails are acceptable as long as an employee doesn't email material to another employee who would be offended by the email?

Re: employee behavior standards

Handbooks are not contracts under Florida law . . . Rather, they are simply policies that an employer can modify as they deem fit.
