My Fucking Employer Snooping On Me...

Hmm...

what is the legal basis over where you are.

Over here (Germany / Switzerland), your employer is allowed to snoop on you, but ONLY after telling you about it.

As far as I see it, if you bought the laptop, they have no right whatsoever to take screenshots 24/7 or even 8-5.

It is your computer, so any software to be installed is installed on your property.
Get a firewall and do not allow the snoop to exit.

Fuckers.

Are you legally obligated to allow them to put software on your computer? Did you sign a contract that says that, or verbally agree?

Are you working at home over a VPN or in their office?

Are they monitoring your laptop camera, or just taking screenshots?

Don't wank at the office, that's just not classy (but if you must, go to the restroom). And don't work for paranoid Big Brother motherfuckers. If they installed that shit without your consent, demand THEY remove it.
 
Ok... if you're working for someone else...

Work Machine = For Work
Your Machine = For You

IT's as simple as that.

And if it's your machine, then there's nothing that says you can't enable firewalls and such after hours. You employers (to a degree of what you agreed to), can dictate what you can do during work hours, after hours, its a violation of privacy.

What I'd do... probably get a cheap ass sub-300 netbook and only use that for work.

Or an alternative that's much easier... VmWare, and only have the windows within as the work-related windows (which can be full screened, backed up, moved on a machine etc).

Far as screen snooping, places like odesk does that, but you're only required to transmit during the times you are billing for. If you're charging them for the hours your rubbing down the cock... that just ain't right.

Quick question for ya though... as part of this agreement, are you using their internet connection where ever you go?
 
Get a REAL job, like working for yourself. Then you won't run into these types of issues! Lewser.
 
He never said he watches porn at work. He simply said that his colleague got busted for it and now his own lack of online privacy concerns him.

These fap-related assumptions speak volumes about the personal habits of the WF community.
 
Thanks guys. A couple of things -

1. No, I don't surf porn at work. Never said that anywhere in my posts! I am concerned with my online privacy - on and off work - as this is the same laptop I use outside work also.

2. I use my own wireless network - although occasionally I had to log on to the company LAN to retrieve some files on the shared network folders.

3. I found out that my colleague's laptop screen caps were taken using VNC! How do I check if it is installed on my machine?
 
Usually there is an icon in the task bar, it should show up there. It's not designed to be used as a spy tool, but a remote control tool. I believe it can be set so that you can't quit it.
