MP3 Police
Sep. 6th, 2006 12:13 pmI hate being the dodgy-file police. It's the one bit of my job I really loathe, but hey, someone has to do it. It is sometimes made up for by the green-ink whiney spume of the complaining users, though:
"I commonly listen to music as I work, and the mp3 files are all legally owned by me and transcribed/downloaded in my own time at home. I had not regarded either storing MP3 files or listening to music in my office as any breach of any trust regulation. I was surprised at the impertinence of someone going through my documents some months ago without my knowledge and deleting all the mp3 files. I reloaded them in "my documents" to see how long it would take big brother to spy on me.
I am surprised and disappointed that my employer has the time to scan personal files and delete them in this fashion.
Thank you this time for at least having the courtesy to contact me this time. I will move them to the C drive. I only placed them on the Z drive again to test the system."
Let me see, had you not read the AUP? Of course not. Why should I care what you do at home? Why do you think that an administrative oversight is impertinent - if I'd failed to find kiddy porn you'd complain that I was being negligent. Do you think we actually care what's in your fileshare or that we're not bound by the same confidentiality agreements as you are? You're just whining and petulant because you've been caught. And you deliberately created more work for me, just because you're so fucking special. So here's what you can do, laughing boy: you can shut the hell up.
I'll write something more professional after lunch, but semantic analysis will reveal it to contain the same information.
