Using access granted to you as a developer to alter work tools to spam controversial messages to your coworkers is wildly inappropriate and unprofessional. There's no rationalization that makes this acceptable behavior.
- drakonka 7y agoThis is exactly what I'm talking about - that we consider a message about organising/unionising to be so controversial at all. To me that is some dystopian level weird.
- freyr 7y agoIt's controversial merely because it doesn't belong in a security tool that's intended to warn users about malware. I say this as a non-management, rank-and-file employee: I don't like the idea of activists (whether I agree with their cause or not) hijacking the company's internal tools to broadcast their message. There are plenty of ways to communicate with your colleagues, there's just need to resort to that. The worst part is that when the activists abuse the company's open tools, the likely response will be to put more restrictions down the tools. In the end, everyone loses because of one individual's thoughtless, narcissistic actions.
