I'm a systems analyst for my company. At my company this means I do everything but programming, and they're sending me for training for that. I'm a liason to the larger IT dept for my section of the company - let's just say if this were the Old West, IT would be the federal govt, my boss would be the local sheriff, and I'd be a deputy. Except the sheriff is always in a fucking meeting, so I'm the law around here.

New Guy started while I was on vacation, so he never met me. I happen to wander past his desk and see him chatting on Yahoo. I mention that he could get in trouble for that, he probrably shouldn't be doing it. (this is also how I got another employee fired. I made a thread about that too.) He says, and I quote, "Nah, the computer guys around here are stupid as fuck."

My eyebrow shoots up like I just morphed into Spock. Not only is he fucking off on company property, he doesn't know who I am. I feel like Little Bill from Unforgiven.

"Really?, " I say. "How do you mean?"

"Well, they don't block anything," he elaborates. "I tried Kazaa, MSN, Yahoo. I like to test the firewall to see what they block. Everything gets through. This place has no security."

Well, he's got a point there. Between each user ID having Admin rights on their personal PC's, seven or so different images floating around on the hardware, no blocked ports, and behind the times AV software, our network is about as tight as Courtney Love's vagina. But I keep our section clean.

"Wow, " I say. "I never knew that. What about porn? Do they block porn?"

He promptly types in Jenna Jameson's website. He's had much practice at typing in Jenna Jameson's website. He even signs in to Jenna Jameson's website.

"Nope," he says, grinning ear to ear.

"And you're logged into the network under you own ID, right?"

"Yeah."

"Hmm."


Guess who's getting fired tommorrow after I show my boss your history folder that I copied when you went to lunch?
 
Great story...but wait, are you at work right now? Posting on GAF while at WORK!?!? (reports mrmyth)

So... you don't block those sites so you can see who can't resist the temptation of goofing off at work?
 
He just gets people fired, he doesnt actually keep the network secure. Cause turnover is better than just having a network people cant f-with.

QFT how much is it going to cost you to warn him over how much it is going to cost the company to replace him just so you get your jollies off off of fucking this guy's life.

But, I suspect everyone needs a hobby.
 
Mrmyth = hypocrite. He probably has a computer full of porn and sells crack out of the back room. I know your type buster!!


p.s.- cut the guy a little slack. We've all fucked off at our jobs. Just let him know who you are and warn him against being a comlpete dipshit in the future if he values his job.
 
I don't understand. Why do you want to fire the guy? He might just have been surfing the internet and honestly might not know who you are. Why not just explain to him how it is, and be cool about it....

Then, if you catch him again, throw the hammer down.

The way i see it - you have to give everyone a chance.
 
It seems like you're a lazy fucking douchebag. Like you're too lazy to secure anything and you'd just rather get people fired because of it.

You should be proud.
 
I don't control the network, so I can't lock it down.

This employee has been here less than 2 weeks. He received a packet detailing do's and dont's in Orientation, and again upon being shown around our office. Policy states no chat, and damn sure no porn. He might not get fired, but then again he might if his supervisor doesn't think he's worth keeping.

This isn't my hobby, its my job. I get canned if I let users fuck off. I don't know this dude. Fuck him. I gotta eat.




And yeah, I'm posting from work.




Yeah, that's hypocrisy you smell.
 
It sounds like the computer guys at that company do suck. He has a point. He can login to porn??? WTF?? All the guy was doing techincally was chatting on yahoo, which is no different than chatting on GAF. The porn was something you asked him about. If anyone should be fired, it should be your network admin.

you're not gonna be fired for giving the guy a warning?! Are you not the deputy? lol. You just like being a douche. I can tell already. Make all the excuses you want but we can see right through you dude. You're a prick plain and simple.

Granted. HOWEVER, when you mentioned porn to see if he would try it, you made yourself partially responsible. The guy was a dick for acting like that, but YOU are a dick for planning on taking him down after YOU added another thing to the list. Sure chatting with MSN, Yahoo whatever isn't a super huge thing (thought at that little time on the job it might be), but I'm sure the porn bit will be an issue. IF the guy does in fact get fired, it will be both his fault AND yours.

but why the admin rights though?
Why not set GPO to limit what they can do?

Remember when I alluded to IT being the federal govt? They're about as right-thinking and just as efficient. I was hired BECAUSE the larger IT dept was failing at keeping this department running.

Hell, not only do the user ID have local admin rights, third pary vendors have administrative rights to our servers over VPNs.

I commend the man you are firing for exploiting your poor excuse for a network. You should really be ashamed of yourself.

You were hired because you fit right into their ridiculously run department. Take your hall monitor badge off once in awhile and don't be such a loser about pety stuff.

You sound like a real dick.


Team Leader don't mean anything, mate.
 
What an ass. The Naploeon complex you have I bet you're 5 ' 2 with a receding hairline.


Here's another example of his douchery:

The only job I really got 'fired' from was when I left one place to follow my old boss. The old job had been taken over by a bigger company - no, actually it was supposed to be a merger but their top management had friends in high places. The writing was on the wall for our top management so they booked. We workers got stuck with a director who referred to his female employees as a harem, managers who took vodka breaks in the bathroom and three hour cocktail lunches starting at eleven, and an office full of workers who hated us because our office style involved actually asking questions of management and expecting answers.
We had to move into their offices. The first day these motherfuckers snuck out of the room to a man to have a birthday party for one of their own. we hear clapping in the break room and realize only our office people are at their desks. On Halloween they all came in dressed up like it was grade school. On Christmas half of them dressed as elves and the other half dressed as presents. Every morning one of them would take over the PA system and read a morning prayer. The bitch was missing teeth and lisped and spit as she talked. I thought she loved Skittles, turns out it was the amount of medication she took daily.
Their management's plan was for our office to take over the duties most of their people did in addition to maintaining our own duties. I found out I got the new job mere hours before my interview with my new 'supervisor'. I sat in her office and agreed to take on twice my previous workload with a smile. I agreed to her every demand.
And then I gave her my resignation letter. Never saw a smile dissapear so fast.

After about a day of bullshitting around, I decided I didn't really want to work the two weeks notice I'd given. I downloaded shemale porn and spread it across their network. I left it as a screensaver at my desk and went to lunch. They fired me when I got back around quitting time.

Wow, you're kind of an asshole. That suggests more stuff to him to try out. Whatever makes you feel like a better person. Why should he know who you are? Like you said, you're the computer guy. Who cares? With your attitude, that's about your only redeeming factor at that place.

If I could remember the skit, I'd love posting some of those pics of that assy computer guy from SNL or MadTV; that's how pricky you are.

How do you treat your friends?

Someone should email this topic to your boss. ;)
 
I'm really hoping that guy gets fired and waits for you to get off work so he can break your arms and legs.

Congrats on being one of those people on earth who is doing nothing but wasting air.

Hmm, looks like mrmyth wanted to know what it's like to be large and in charge.
A bit jealous of getting fucked over at your previous job? Seems that way!

Yet another reason why I hate corporate America. The things it will do to the best of us.

Taking job away>>>>>>murder, rape, assault, war crimes..........
 
Can we say 'thread backfire?'

But still, the guy is an idiot for fucking around at his job like that, and even bragging about it. Still I wouldnt report him, he's gonna get fired soon enough all by himself.

The fact that you need to list those things to find something that you are better than, shows what a real douche you are.

Local admin rights? Are you guys insane?

I don't know about there but there is a shitload of software on our campus that requires local admin rights to even run. Fucking software. I really don't like it either but we don't have a choice.
 
I think it's safe to say mrmyth just immortalized himself as GAF's worst IT employee. :lol
Self-ownage came on pretty strong this month, I must say.
