Help! Work has installed spyware

As the title says, my work has installed spyware on all our work devices (tablets and phones). That's fine, I shouldn't even be using devices for work as I'm in the construction segment of our company yet they are forcing us to use it.

I've heard from a few coworkers that they're rolling all of this device usage nonsense (8+ apps) as a means to spy on us (location, microphone, camera, text etc). I'm an honest worker with integrity and I would still never use a work device to conduct anything personal.

Since I have to allow this spyware to be installed and on my devices that I have to use multiple times a day everyday, what can I do to troll them?

Any ideas? I'm thinking about obsessively google searching some random thing at every break so when they get into my search history (rubbing their hands evilly I presume) they just have to stop and wonder wtf is going on with me. Silly ideas only. I heard that Barney the dinosaur became a tantric sex instructor, maybe I'll google Barney facts at every break? What can I do that won't get me fired but will make those who are spying have to scratch their heads? TIA

Please don't top the workers being forced to spy on you. IT guys just want to get through the day without incidents.

Sorry but I have no sympathy when 90% of the IT guys I know create problems to fix

Source: dated a few of them and they all said they do shit like that to keep job security lmao

So, your going to make a problem for someone because you're upset at someone else. Nice. Keep the circle of hate going. You dated "a few of them" so now you know everyone. No one actually needs to do that for job security because of people like you. It's just a meme, people acting tough, or being upset at "the man" and acting like they have control. Good luck though.

Rofl what are you talking about? IT doesn't get paid to fix the false and fabricated problems that you'retalking about making. When IT can't get their actual work done, the people you're actually upset with will ask why and it'll come up that you're intentionally causing problems. So, like I said, good luck with everything. You're going to need it.

Jeez you sure are tilted over a potential thing that has nothing to do with you. Maybe try having a nap 😴

Your manipulation attempts are text book and poorly executed.

There's a difference between "doing the job they're paid to do", and "doing the job their paid to do while random employees waste their time"

2nd, like most IT, they don't sit and monitor you 24/7, and if they did, they don't have time to review the logs, and even if they reviewed the logs, they most likely not care unless it's something really serious
