Employee Monitoring
CWmike writes "Michael Workman, an associate professor at the Florida Institute of Technology's Nathan M. Bisk College of Business, estimates that monitoring responsibilities take up at least 20% of the average IT manager's time. Yet most IT professionals never expected they'd be asked to police their colleagues and co-workers in quite this way. How do they feel about this growing responsibility? Workman says he sees a split among tech workers. Those who specialize in security issues feel that it's a valid part of IT's job. But those who have more of a generalist's role, such as network administrators, often don't like it. Computerworld contributor Tam Harbert found a wide variety of viewpoints from IT managers, ranging from discomfort at having to 'babysit' employees to righteous beliefs about 'protecting the integrity of the system.'"

pee on every scrap of paper in the restroom! Ever reached for the roll of toilet paper after a messy shit, only to discover a soggy yellow mess? I'm that guy!
Sorry for the double post, but I did want to say a few more important things.
I'd like 3 minutes of my life back, please. I read what you wrote (quite carefully), but you didn't have anything important to say. Just a lot of whingeing about your rights while at work, for which your employer pays you. The employer who has a right to check that you're actually working, and not endangering the company's interests.
(sigh) Grow up.
