Workplace Privacy - IBM Hot, Lilly Not

Posted by simoniker on from the dogged-by-the-snoop dept.

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."

    Wow! IBM seems to really be doing well in a geek's eyes right now.

    Don't get too excited. They failed to rule the world by force. Now they're trying to do it peacefully, by co-opting us geeks. It could only be done through Linux. Now we know who Linus was working for when he said "world domination."

    Note to self: don't visit www.sco.com if ever working at IBM...
