Rather than get into arguments with whatever bottom-tier employee is asking for my personal information, I just mention that the CIA's Top Secret computer database, of Top Secret Information about their Top Secret Secret Agents, was successfully hacked. Years ago.
Once given that "out", no employee has ever felt the need to argue that their company's computers are somehow secure.

- bell-cot 2y agoPerhaps I've gotten dozens of scarce (local job market) retail employees fired over the years. With no push-back from them. Perhaps your hypothesis is incorrect.
- knowaveragejoe 2y agoYou touch on an important point, in that the situation in which this happens is laden with all kinds of social pressures(holding up a line, explaining to a SO why you aren't just giving over what they asked for to get on with your day, etc etc).
