Like hosted a website or a server for your personal needs, or taken a smartphone given to you for work or something like that.
What’s up with all these ask lemmy posts asking us to self incriminate?
To be fair: if your HR department can link your Lemmy posts to you, they are insanely bored and presumably over funded.
I was working in my (poor third world) government job, and our keyboard broke. Replacements took months, since they only bought mouse and keyboards in bulk once per year or so, and they ran out of.
I had a second job working as a contractor for a private company, where we were contracted for a public hospital providing system administration and technical support. We had some old PS2 keyboards that were to be decommissioned, but since they didn’t have inventory number, I got hold of them and brought some to my other job.
So I donated some equipment from one area of government to another, but it was kinda illegal, lol 😆.
a long time ago I worked at an event production company, we bought a plastic card (think credit cards) full color printer to print client logos on NFC cards, and I had to test them, so I printed McLovin’s driver licence on a card, and I still keep it on my wallet.
I worked at a car dealership that put out very nice, fresh muffins for the customers. I was a drug addict at the time and wasn’t spending money on food so that’s where I ate
I was issued a monitor in the early days of COVID when they were sending us home to work. We already had laptops. They had literally pallettes of monitors, people were just grabbing one or two. Tracking was through the honor system, writing name and number taken on a piece of paper.
Now they’re having us go back into the office ~3 days a week and want us to return the monitors. Lol, no.
What’s the justification for having you back in the office?
New people who don’t know wtf they are doing because we don’t have structured training and our written documentation is piss poor and we’re overall bad at helping them. Some new college grad botched a multi-million dollar program and come to find out, they weren’t getting any meaningful mentoring or guidance.
The thought is we will be better at seeing these sorts of gaps earlier if we’re having real conversations, not just the routine PowerPoint presentations sanitized to show all is good.
Could a team train and mentor via virtual interaction only? Sure. Can this particular team? Nope.
My manager actually wants me to host a Minecraft server on company hardware to test our performance monitoring system, aren’t I lucky
Now if only I knew how to get players on it who aren’t my friends
The company’s PCs were running XP, but had Windows 7 Pro license stickers on their back. I wrote down a few license codes for using them at home. One of those is now my Windows 11 Pro license.
Yeah, totally. I lived rural with a poor connection at the time.
Company had a remote server in a data centre for our CRM, website and such as we had people in three locations. total overkill really for what we needed in my opinion and it was 99% idle in the evenings.
So I used it to host half life deathmatch and team fortress back in the day when these were cutting edge. Four to six players each night having fun we couldn’t have had otherwise.
No, I’m not stupid. Also technically everything you create on company time and/or company resources no longer belongs to you.
I did have a boss once (software development) who hosted his own website on the company servers. Not 100% sure if that was ever green lit by the CEO (maybe, maybe not). But I was really annoyed when the server had issues due to that private site, when I didn’t have access to the code to fix them.
You mean legally when I’m allowed/entitled to? All the time. I max out my benefits.
Any time I’m in the office, I make sure to take a nice long relaxing crap.
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime
That’s why I poop on company time
Fuck off, fed.
