So I'm the network administrator at the company that I work at. We have web monitoring software installed to catch people who spend a lot of their time online and not doing their work. Well, while scanning through logs, I noticed one of my users was doing a lot of searches for "strippers" for a few number of days in a row. So I decided to confront the guy about it.

After I sat him down and had a little talk with him about the policies and that he shouldn't be searching for porn during work hours, he got really red in the face and said that he had done no such thing basically denying the allegations. Understandable. I'd do the same thing if I were in his shoes. So I told him I have the logs as proof. But I told him I wouldn't report him and to consider it a warning.

But being the curios person that I am, I went back to the logs and did a thorough lookthrough. It turns out the guy was search for "wire strippers" and not woman that take their clothes off.

Moral of the story: Don't accuse other until you have the whole picture.

:eek:

Disclaimer: This was actually a joke that is better when told in the first person. :p

Nice to catch someone doing something right eh?

Our sysadmin has been working on posting a brief user policy at the login screen so sheeple are notified that they are being monitored very closely.

Good thing you're not at work now and you're posting on ATOT in your free time! ;)

i know its a joke, but network admins who monitor what people do online should fry. its like prying into the privacies of other colleagues, and granted at work there's no such thing, but what about the CEO or some executive of the company who may want to keep their activities private due to legal or business reasons?

You mean the ex-CEO of Boeing?
