    First day of the new job. I’m going to approach it with zero expectations.

    One of the first things I’m going to do is login to everything on the work pc. Even if I’m just browsing aussie.zone, manager logic is I’m being productive if I’m on the computer, you’re only slacking off on your phone

        If anything they seem normie on the boring side. Every workplace likes to think they’re a bit quirky and messed up but this is standard from what I’ve seen

        It just feels a bit weird to get my head around this could be long term. Having just come out of a contract I keep approaching jobs like they’re a temporary thing

        My initial impression is I could see myself working here long term as long as the day to day doesn’t suck. And it may not be too bad

      Keep in mind that many IT departments can see everything you do on your computer. Your saved passwords will be stored in the Directory server.

      I used to use Firefox for any personal stuff I was doing on my computer and I would use Edge and Chrome for work-related. (Firefox was also faster because it wasn’t being bogged down with AI bullshit).

      Our IT department remotely uninstalled Firefox.

        I always keep that in mind with work computers. Whilst they can see everything you do, I also figure they need to be looking to know. So whilst your traffic is all being tracked, you need to be doing something dodgy to grab their attention as well
