    This is why keeping work accounts, machines, and activities separate is always a good idea. In this case Gary did have “something to hide”.

      Nonsense! Calum is doing what Calum does at home. If the company doesn’t want to see it they shouldn’t be watching him like that when he’s at home.

      Remember: Calum isn’t feeling well. Any doctor would say Calum is doing his part to get better and stay healthy!

        Calum is using a work machine for personal actuvities, though. A little Youtube never hurt anyone but straight-up watching porn “between enquiries”, which sounds like during work hours or something, is kinda not on.

        Work shouldn’t distrust employees this much and these measures never lead to increased productivity but Calum is also a complete fucking idiot.

          I read it as likely to be a personal computer using a remote connection, mostly because Gary told Calum how to hide the screen on the remote connection instead of telling them not to do it on a work computer.

          Either way, being called out for watching porn while apparently working from home due to something they need to recover from is priceless.

        You seem to misunderstand. The tech isn’t saying, “Hey, we’re watching you,”, they’re saying, “Hey, your monitor here at work is showing off everything you’re doing and everyone in the office can see.”

        Calum is expelling his demons and should recover twice as fast!

        A decade ago, I watched a scientist at a conference plug his laptop in to the conference room, wake it up, sync to the Big Screen, load xvideos tab he had up, and then watched him flounder for a good 20 seconds to try to figure out how to close it and save face before loading a PowerPoint.

        If BYOD was allowed I’d probably get a laptop with two M.2 drives and keep work and personal on separate OSs on separate drives, both encrypted so they can’t access each other’s files.

        Best of both worlds.
