Big bank outsources the jobs of one of its tech depts. as well as two other tech depts. it was not the IT helpdesk but the telecom and router/data guys and another tech fcn that will remain unamed.
all in all over 1000 jobs were outsourced to XYZ company over 5 years ago.
To perform these jobs, access to big bank's network is required.
the outsourcing comapny (XYZ) starts to outsource too, and relies on contractors to support users and the daily operations.
even after 5 years, getting logins to big bank's network is difficult and takes months. so when a new consultant starts, he/she can't really do anything for a couple of months until their logins are set up.
So the team lead for this tech team wants to take a week off and leaves 2 consutants at the helm while he takes off. He violates the big bank's policy by giving the consultants his login credentials so that they can work while he is off.
Foolishly he does this w/out his boss's knowledge or consent. while he is off one of the consultants goes to a pron site with his login. he gets fired when he returns to work for sharing his login with the consultants.
a few months later, an email is sent out by his former boss. the email was sent to two new consultants that are doing the same job now. in this email the boss says it is okay to share the one working login between the two guys as long as the guy whose login it is keeps an eye on the other guy.
isn't this totally wrong? a man just got fired for doing that and now they are telling them that it is okay? we take IT security training telling us never to let anyone use our logins, and I would never give out my password, but we still have to do our jobs.
who is responsible? the big bank or XYZ company or just the low level team lead that got canned? doesn't he have a case given all the facts? what do you think?
