I don't think this is appropriate for general office use simply because you might leach private data from employees (bank accounts, retirement accounts, medical records, whatever), but in secure, restricted environments I think it's totally appropriate and probably needed.
- pc86 14y agoThere is an argument to made that you shouldn't be looking at your personal bank accounts or medical records on a work computer, particularly if you work at a company that cares so little about their employees that they'd implement a system like this.
- ghshephard 13y agoIt's not so much that the company cares so little about their employees, but that they have so many responsibilities for the data and systems they are entrusted with. Seriously, though - what everyone I know does in this situation does is just bring their own laptop into work for personal stuff, and treats the work console for precisely that - work activity.
- pc86 13y agoIs this common? I have a few coworkers that bring in personal laptops and have them sitting right next to the work laptop. It absolutely blew my mind the first time I saw it. It would have been unheard of at my previous employers and probably gotten you called into an office.
