- theodric 1y agoNot while I was there, anyway. The corporate image was so locked down that only named binaries would run, and Internet access was heavily filtered and MITM'd for inspection/retention. We didn't even have a shitposting channel. All the juicy stuff happened over the phone, because most people weren't recorded apart from traders and those adjacent to them (and you'd know if they were recorded because of the IVR announcement preceding their join).
