I don't see much positive coming from this.
At a previous company a round of firings were commenced with evidence contributed from HipChat logs... That was followed by a rash of everyone using the XMPP interface so they could encrypt their chats- I thought that was a bit much but now their paranoia has been proven wise...
- eli 13y agoPeople were typing incriminating things in a chatroom on your company's HipChat server? I could believe that they were surprised management decided to track what they were saying, but I can't believe anyone thought HipChat would protect chatroom logs against the account administrator.
- leetrout 13y agoThat's what we were told at an all hands meeting to squelch the morale decline after a handful of people were sent packing... That they were being poisonous in a group room and it backed up allegations about their behavior. I was surprised at the same foolishness. But it's inline with the story we were told about their rather cavalier attitude about coming to work inebriated and abusing substances on company time. I didn't know any of them at take the information at face value- the message was don't come to work high and you won't get fired. The takeaway was don't brag about your activities on the company HipChat...
- matthewcford 13y agoI don't see how this is relevant, if it was bad enough to warrant being fired, logs or lack of them wouldn't have helped. Sure they might have acted as evidence but there was probably other evidence of the actual action?
