Young Employees Pose Increasing Risk to Networks

buzzardsbay writes "Baseline is reporting on an upcoming survey from Symantec and Applied Research-West that confirms many suspicions about the generation gap in the workplace, namely that younger workers will use your corporate network to run most any device, technology or social networking software they can get their hands on. Dubbed "Millenials," these workers born after 1980 are nearly twice as likely to use cell phones and PDAs at work, and half admit to installing unauthorized software on their employer's computers. On the upside, the Millenials are more security aware than their older co-workers."

This is the point in the conversation where I would break your nose if you weren't hiding behind internet anonymity. You are the kind of smug prick who accuses people of having an anger problem without regard to whether or not there is something to be angry about.

Yes, I am fucking angry. I have a fucking right to be. I am financially squeezed by a mindnumbingly selfish older generation, I have my civil liberties stripped in the name of their security, and I am told that I am spoilt and whiny if I raise even the slightest complaint about it. In such circumstances, it is good to be angry.
