This is pretty maddening, whenever I go to gmail.com I get immediately redirected to the g suite admin page.

But i just want to view person email not my work g suit admin page. So I go to gmail.com and switch to my personal account. At that point Im redirected to g suite admin and Im met with this error:

admin.google.com is for G Suite accounts only. Regular Gmail accounts cannot be used to sign in to admin.google.com. Learn more

What i have to do is go back to the google search page, switch accounts from there, then click the "gmail" link on the google search page to get to email

Why is this happening?

You could try using the private browsing mode of Chrome, for your personal Gmail account.

It has many advantages:

  • You don't mix personal and professional data
  • Both will be in a separate window that you can minimize (you probably don't want a coworker to look at your emails, if you need to show him/her something on your browser)
  • The private browsing mode will not use any active G Suite session
  • When you close the private windows, your private Gmail will be disconnected. On a work computer, I believe it's a good practice.

Edit: if you want to keep the Gmail session open (with 2-factor authentication), you can use the Google Chrome profiles to keep both environments (work & private) separated.

Everything is explained here.
