When your IT guy says "Don't do it", he means it. When you make him tell you not to do something 3 times, you have to expect him to do something about it.

When you piss him off, you get a copy of the "Acceptable Use Guidelines" with a cc of the message sent to your boss.

Now watch you get written up for not being a team player or being intentionally obstructive or somesuch. I've never known being right to be an adequate defense.

This. This. A bazillion times this.

Once, we had someone try to dispute our claims that they were not following acceptable use. They had no proof, we did. A picture may be worth a million words but a screenshot of what you were doing against policy can be worth eons of silence from the offender. Of course, we presented printed out copies of the screenshots in person to their manager.

If he does that, I'll explain to the manager one of the reasons his backups are slow is because there's porn on his computer.

O.O

that's pretty much an Insta-Term™ at my last place, and probably my current place too.

I would think, if you're not smart enough to hide your porn, you're probably not smart enough to work for the company. I doubt that's the stated logic, but odds are it's the case.
