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.
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.
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.
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… 🙄
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.”
