As you may know, I’ve moved to pursue a great job opportunity in a different state. So far, it’s been a good move overall. My husband has a job nearby, so the commute has been reduced for both of us. The area is nice and we’re meeting new people.
My problem is I found out how much my company keeps tabs on us. I know companies do this to ensure that sensitive information is not leaked out and the workers or productive. I just never been in a company that does it so much. Just last week I was working on some orders. A coworker came in to ask some questions and when I turned around, I noticed that my cursor was moving. The tech guy was logging in remotely without letting me know. It was a bit creepy.

My current job as a consultant requires me to have a clearance for some engagements and I can’t even tell the IT helpdesk what I’m working on to get assistance because of the sensitive nature of things. (They just did a security audit review this us and reinforced this point.) I would be seriously worried if some IT goon was logging into my machine without my permission.

I never had anyone do that to my computer without warning me beforehand. In fact, I think I had to click some kind of “allow.” That would creep me out too.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels creeped out. It’s a small company and the tech guy is related to a manager.
