It's in our user policy that we have the right to view anything stored on company equipment and do whatever we want with it. They are repeatedly warned not to do any personal business on company computers.
You can't fix stupid though. This idiot had his CC info stored in web browser. Least to say... he was fired and I was asked to review his equipment for evidence for termination. He left a fuckload of evidence... lol including his fan-fiction writing.
What did the fan fiction entail?
Asking for a friend
it was walking dead fan fics with themselves inserted as a character fucking the main characters... standard fan fic crap.
it was saved in .txt files for some reason, that was the weird part.
"Well it was text what else was I supposed to use?" - that idiot, probably
Boooorrrrriiiiing!
Its that companies property now. Guess you have to wait until they publish it.
Yes of course you shouldn't store personal information on work computers but purposefully continue reading after you discover it's personal information is IMO very unprofessional. Do you spend all day looking through people's computers or what?
I would never do that even if we had a policy that allows us to do that (We probably do, I just haven't read it yet). Doing that would be unprofessional as fuck and just fucking rude and disrespectful.
It's also a legal grey zone with GDPR.
It's my job to know what the fuck people are doing with our computer systems and if it's a threat. Using work systems for personal business is grounds for termination. Revealing sensitive company information to your therapist via company email... also grounds for termination. etc.
Just like it's my job to know if they are looking at porn on company computers. I live in America. GDPR doesn't exist there and we don't do any business in Europe.
I'm glad you want to protect idiots from themselves. I don't. My job is to protect the company from idiots who are doing stupid shit they shouldn't be doing that may lead to our systems being compromised. kid should have done his banking on his personal cell phone and he might not have been fired. we even offer out of band wi-fi for employees to do shit like that...
Get a monitoring solution bruh. It's madness to go snoop through every employees computers and email. Don't you have anything else to do? My team are the only IT team with domain admin and global admin accounts and we have much better things to do.
We have information and IT security teams but I highly doubt they do the stuff you apparently spend all day doing.
It must be a very small business.
How is that your job? I assume you work in IT.
That's a HR issue not an IT issue. It shouldn't matter for IT if people watch porn or watch youtube all day. Let HR deal with that shit.
I work at a company that takes physical and cyber security quite seriously and we don't do anything close to that.
Though my country is generally open to employees using corporate devices for some personal use (especially company phones, maybe not so much the computers) we even have the option of transferring out mobile numbers to the company and using our corporate phone (iPhones unfortunately) exclusively for everything in life.
yeah it's small. don't have the budget for crazy shit. it's me and one HR lady. we are a team. this guy was fired for cause, and i was told to find evidence to backup the cause. it was there.
Fair, that's very different. I'm absolutely not saying that you shouldn't look through stuff when you need too. I'm just doubting the need to to it continually and the need to look through people personal information even if it's not supposed to be there.
I work at a large company with lots of locations all over the country.
