This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean... you should always assume that everything on a company-owned device is being monitored.

And yeah, just because there weren't immediate consequences doesn't mean there won't be any.

All depends on how much you value your job

If you want to keep your job, assuming the company is omniscient is smart

In reality, most corporations are cutting staff all the time at this point. They might have automated systems looking for porn, but for stupid grug questions? Doubtful. If a human sees it? Will they fire you? Honestly, coin flip.

Correct.

But we don't need employees to audit your use of company devices - we have LLMs for that. We can always define what is "work related" and flag anything that doesn't match, or any web addresses that are outside the pre-approved list (it doesn't have to be blacklisting, we can do whitelisting too).

And yeah, they won't fire you right away... they'll just collect data, and use it to justify firing you when they decide that you cost too much.

And with how much companies like Microsoft are shoving AI features into everything, it's a constant battle for well meaning sysadmins to keep busybody management types from getting enough force together to push through enabling this shit.

They all see it as a "no manpower required" thing that can just be switched on and used as a feather in their cap. "Look! I did a thing! For free!"
