Workplace Privacy - IBM Hot, Lilly Not
Brahmastra writes "Reuters has posted an article about the best and worst companies for workplace privacy, passing on information from the forthcoming issue of Wired Magazine, and IBM comes out on top. How does your workplace compare?" According to the summary, Eli Lilly was rated "the most notorious Big Brother boss", after "...its invasive background checks of workers after Sept. 11, 2001, some of which led to dismissals."
My employer is pretty good when it comes to workplace privacy and freedom. Afterall, they don't seem to mind me reading Slas
Still can't masturbate in the privacy of my cube without someone complaining to HR. The terrorists have already won...

I've been afraid of this. The proliferation of penis enlargement spam, and thus penis enlargement "natural herbal methods" has given companies an excuse not to pay up on health insurance claims. If you measure 3" longer than you should (to say nothing of breadth and vigor), you've obviously been popping the pills, and since the side effects are unknown, your claim is nullified. It's the new urine test, only you don't even need a glass of water.
Either that or the parent poster is less Informative than the moderators suspect.
While it's esay for us to sit here and complain on them for invasive background checks of workers after Sept. 11 its not that easy for them to avoid getting decent workers that don't disclose their research to terrorists. For example if Bin-Laden got hold of all the research of Elly he might avoid getting diseases like osteoporosis, cancer, depression, schizophrenia and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. So actually its better that they check their future employees than Bin-Laden getting 120 yeras old.
Proud patriot and republican voter.
When did they get all nice-nice?

Don't be so hard on the poor AC. He actually has an account, but he's unable to log in because he can't spell his password right!
I suffer from attention surplus disorder.
Reminds me of an old job, when one of the bosses tried to install a key-logger on my machine. It stored the key presses as a text file in C:\. Of course I noticed this (hard not to, it kept crashing) -- and being the evil person that I am, I replaced it with some imaginative ASCI art.
I don't work there anymore.
They kindly leave the firewall configured so I can SSH to my home machine and tunnel to my private proxy. Thanks boss!
If tits were wings it'd be flying around.
because all their employees work in Singapore, India, Russia, etc.
Pretty hard to walk buy and catch someone watchin porn when they're halfway around the world!

Even the worst libertarian excesses of the 1980s War on Drugs, as presided over by Edwin Meese...
You might want to pick up a dictionary and look at the word "libertarian".
Don't blame me, I didn't vote for either of them!
