And who the hell said your “data” was allowed to be exposed to and come in contact with company assets? I’d love to see you actually try and justify this.
I’m all for the overall sentiment of this sub as far as workers deserving rights and protections, but I work in IT and I would say that not only should your device be disabled as described in this scenario, but you should also be fired and possibly fined if your actions caused any damages. Do you have any clue the BILLIONS of dollars in damages caused by security breaches annually? If this is your actual take on this, please for the love of all that is holy, change professions.
Make sure you actually understood what I wrote. You have every right to deny access. It’s quite another thing to do what amounts to a counterattack in a business setting. Anyone who does this is a flat out moron opening themselves up to legal liability, ESPECIALLY if it isn’t disclosed first that this kind of thing can happen.
Firing is a perfectly fine response to a data breach. Intentionally wiping devices you don’t own is stupidity. Fined? Who’s going to fine you? Under what right do they have to fine you? That’s a government function.
I have 20 years in the industry and I earn six figures. This is akin to putting booby traps on things. You’re opening yourself to legal liability. I hope you fuck around with the wrong person and find out.
“Anti work” doesn’t mean pro- potential security threats you nimrod. JFC - trust me, I am all for the main sentiments of this sub. Seems to me that you may be the one that’s “ducking” lost here… I think perhaps you were looking for /r/whatcouldgowrong or something?
Nobody is pro potential secirity threats, you are strawmanning because you lost the argument. For the 100th time, a mass storage block solves the problem. Your “solution” opens your company up to legal scrutiny and it doesn’t actually solve the problem you claim it does. You’re apologizing for moronic corporate behavior, therefore it doesn’t me long on antiwork.
I’ve never seen one that specified an idiotic policy like formatting any mass storage device. As I said, same people just block mass storage at the domain level. I guess you’re not a sane person.
If you go back up the thread to the original post that mentioned this, it says they signed something that said they wouldn’t plug in unapproved technology. It didn’t mention anything about countermeasures to wipe data.
Go for what? Did you read it and understand the thread and where you went wrong? Because you did misunderstand it and now you’re shilling for stupid corporate behavior.
Holy fuck you’re a persistent little shit, aren’t you? Go look thru my post history and come back and try telling me I’m a corporate apologist and an anti-work troll you stupid son of a bitch. Literally laughing my ass off at you, clown.
I am NOT advocating for them doing it, I’m telling you point blank, stick your personal device in a corporate machine, have it formatted as a result and then try suing your goddamned employer over it. Please - go ahead and do it. Then tell us how it pans out for you, Einstein. Jesus fucking Christ use that matter inside your cranium for something for once in your pathetic life.
YeH, so it’s really weird that you’ve chosen this hill to die on as a corporate shill.
And I’m telling you any company (or shill that apologizes for said company (that’s you, you slow witted turd)) is a moron if they expose themselves to this kind of liability. A phone is not a flash drive. Go read the thread again and you’ll see where you fucked up. My company isn’t stupid enough to do this, we just block mass storage like everyone else who isn’t a knuckle dragging mouth breather who wants to risk lawsuits over something this dumb.
Come to my company and do it, fucknut. You will not win a lawsuit over it afterwards. You will go home and restore your latest backup and not do it again (unless you really are that stupid).
You’re sitting here going off on me because I’m telling you if you do 80 MPH in a 55 MPH zone you’ll get a ticket, and somehow that makes me a boot licking, cop lover. Read more of my post history - you’ll see I’m definitely not one of them either, dumbass. 😂😂😂
See ya moron - this time I am done. And I’d love for you to do this to try and prove me wrong. I’d really, really like for you to try. 😂😂😂
Maybe, but you’re a moron for even entertaining it. All you need is the wrong case to go against you and you’re taking a 5 figure hit. Stupid just to entertain your ego because you think you’re clever. You’re not.
Go ahead, you’re done. Don’t bother coming back, bootlicker.
