This should go without saying, but don’t use company devices for your personal stuff, whether they’re private, public, or federal. Somebody is always watching, and some manager with a chip on their shoulder will be more than happy to avail themselves of the bossware inevitably installed on there.
There was a guy I met at a bar who took out his laptop to show me some cool personal app he was building using a no-code builder. I asked him about his laptop specs, and I shit you not, he said, “I don’t know. It’s whatever my job gives me.”
This is why I get weirded out at people using company computers and company networks to facebook. Like… Dude. I don’t care if you incogneto. IT has logs. Even if you aren’t called out, you always can be.
Not in my company. Got mine empty, set it up myself from scratch. No supervision of any kind. Along with a great boss, it’s one of the reasons why I wouldn’t change company. 🎶
When I hear from some of my friends how each of their seconds and 🐭 moves are tracked… 🙄
I’m old enough to remember when Gamersgate/me too and companies were getting leaked everywhere, which really made them look bad. Like literally people were using their real Facebook name and going, “Scarlet Johansson is a feminist b**** c*** who should stay in her lane” and their job title right there.
The first thing my job did was give everyone a warning that no personal things on work time and made everyone sign a contract. Then a few months later, our sister company got a bunch of leaks in the news about a sexist environment/sexual abuse. Then a few months after that, a bunch of people were “let go” for breaking that contract.
