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."

    Dear Lisa, as I write this I am very sad. Our President has been overthrown, and... (now the voice changes to a man's)...replaced by the benevolent General Krull. All hail Krull and his glorious new regime! Sincerely, Little Girl."

    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."

    They don't have internet police (well they do have a proxy and you WILL be canned for visiting certain websites)

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

    Sco is linked from IBM's main intranet site. It's a way of bringing the whole company together in one big collective laugh.
