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.
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...
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.
