I got called in a meeting today with my boss and a tech guy.

They pulled out my entire browsing history and it was a lot of boards.4chan.org

They asked me a lot of questions about what the hell i am actually doing with my life.

Is this even legal? Can i prevent this from happening again somehow? They gave me an ultimatum and said they monitor every fucking step i take and if i ever do this again ill get fired.

Why don't they just block 4chan outright? I suspect the tech fag is reading this tomorrow cause he jerks off to hentai like you guys.
>>
Maybe you should be on 4chan at home and actually be doing your job at work instead of trying to treat your boss like a cuck.
>>
>>59535727
You're getting fired for being shit.
>>
Then know you're weak enough to actually take this and continue being their pawn. If you had any ounce of respect or talent, you would leave and find another job.

i work in HR for a big company and there sometimes isn't much else to do really.

I get all my work done in a few hours and sit out the rest and chill. There can be days where i have literally nothing to do at all.

Should i change careers to do more with my life? I make 65k now and i get promoted even though i don't do anything.

I started with 43k like 4 years ago fresh out of college.

I don't know what to do with the money i earn, my job is not challenging at all and im bored all the time.

Believe it or not, the browsing 4chinz at work thing is a meme. The reason there's SFW boards is so when people go on their (own) phones/tablets/laptops while on their lunch break or out in public, there's less chance for CP or embarrassment

Read your contract, if it's not specified there read work law of your country.

i like the blue boards but you are right. Its sometimes scary cause some weeb shit might post hentai

>>59535869

theres obviously nothing in my contract that says i get monitored. I know the contracts very well since i write them myself lol.

I guess there aren't any laws against your boss telling you to start working properly.

>>59535882

why so mad at HR?! Where do you work?

>>59535883

my company has a big name so i dont think ill have problems finding a job somewhere else in that "career". I graduated from a top university. People in HR value these nice looking CVs i guess lol.

>>59535958
Doesn't matter where I work, what I'll say is this; we have a dedicated HR team of four people.
Yesterday, not a single fucking person was around.
The last couple of weeks, including up to today, we haven't had the upcoming weeks schedules ready to look at because of HR being lazy niggers until the Thursday/Friday/Saturday or sometimes even Sunday.
They spend their time doing all of this bollocks that isn't necessary (drawing posters about inane shit) but don't do the fucking important shit.
And when you go to them with an issue?
>"O-oh, sorry, I'm not trained to ______"
Even though that's their whole fucking job.
>>
>>59535727

>Not assuming that in the first place

If you're not paying for the internet and you control none of the routers, you should assume anything you are doing on the connection is public, dumb frogposter, just like using the internet connection at your local Starbucks.

>>59535727
Could've bought a laptop and browser 4chinz from there. Also if you're bored you could also learn some new skills, like learn programming, unreal or something else.

Explain yourself faggot. You're an adult, you have a job, and you browse /g/ -- a fucking technology board, and you're incompetent enough to not know how to safely tunnel out of your jobs network? It's not fucking rocket science. You deserve it because you're either fucking incapable of basic problem-solving skills or you're lazy enough to browse imageboards on your companies dime and not caring that they might catch you.

>>59535958
>Nothing in my contract about being monitored
Never had a job before? Fucking hell, are you mentally cunted?
Of fucking course you've always got to assume you're being watched. Your being paid to WORK and your performance IS critical to you keeping your job. WHY should ANYONE want to hire someone who does jack fucking shit yet feels entitled to keep their job?

sorry that you have such a bad experience with people from HR. I mean i like to think that ia ctually get my work done cause i do it and then chill. Its not like that i dont do anything at all but the workload can be so little.

Most people stretch it out over the ful lday i just do it in an hour or two and im done with it and chill the rest.

>>59535988

well i guess i felt too safe cause i progressed so quickly and nothing happened in 4 years.

>>59535990

why not bring a bed too?

>>59536012

im not a regular on /g/ tbqh

>>59536016

the irony is that im the one who hires people and not the other way around.

Its kind of sad. I sometimes look that applications and think to myself that this person is super qualified and knows all these things and did all these crazy things but we deny them cause they might not be a good fit or whatever.

Depends on the department they are needed for.
>>
What is the extent of the monitoring? Do they have like a teamview/ remote access and are watching everything in real time? Could you not just setup a VM and run a vpn through it?

>use your phone instead
>>59535958

>>59535727 (OP)
well OP, then use your phone's internet, router it and connect from the PC and browse.

they are probably monitoring both via traffic, which you will bypassing via phone...
and also via some spy software on your computer, which probably works via LAN, but to be on the safe side, you could boot up a "Hirens Bootcd" or "ultimate bootcd for windows" from a flashdrive..

cant you just take a laptop to work and use it with smatphone internet?
>>
>>59535849
incognito doesn't block traffic logs, only stops it from being collected on your own browser. IT guy will still see everything.

OP try using Tor, or browse on your phone while not being connected to local wifi
>>
>>59536046

Even if nothing happened in 4 years, you can assume something like a "increase productivity" type initiative can happen and I bet a ton of other people besides you got caught at your company and it will now have the desired effect on your company and whoever initiated it will get a bonus/raise.

what they meant by that is that they will check what im doing on a regular basis and not just surprise me again with this in 4 years

honestly i'd just become a NEET. Daddy will leave me a nice inheritance and other people can go into the corporate world.

Im just stealing their opportunities by being a rich kid who got it all handed to him in his life.

>>59536075

ofc i told my boss that there isnt actually any work i havent done and told him i do it all and said the same things to him.

He just told me that he didnt expect this attitutde from me and thought i'd look for work myself etc blah blah.

>>59536088

sure. Usually we are ahead of these things and know about it since we are HR but they caught us off guard. Guess ill have to fire a few people soon cause they were even worse than me and browsed porn sites or whatever haha.

I'm a proxy admin for my company. If you're in the US, yes it's legal. If you're in EU countries it varies. I have no knowledge outside of that.

This is stupid stupid stupid. Always assume company internet is monitored. As others have said, phone post if you must (and if it's a company phone run by an MDM don't even fucking do that because it's 50/50 it's run back through the same proxy).

you are lucky you got off with a warning frankly because if our HR saw the shit on 4chan they would shit themselves from fear of offensive and obscene material (if it was just /g/ you could argue it's worksafe but w/e just no).

To avoid:
1. If you must use company browser and proxy is set by GPO - no avoiding.
2. If proxy is set by wpad/option252 DHCP then you can override in internet options.
3. IE and chrome use DHCP first then DNS (the non-ratified RFC says DHCP is supposed to trump but it's not an official standard so people ignore it). Firefox uses DNS first but also can be overridden.
4. Assuming you can override it if they have open internet they're stupid. The chances are you would need a different proxy. Unlikely.
5. SSL content is only monitored with SSL bump. Sometimes you can play with this. If SSL is actually secure you could corkscrew/ssh/tunnel out.
6. If it's SOCKS goodluck.

But seriously, why not just do your job and suck it up?
>>
>>59535848
IT guy here. Dont fuck with us.

No, really. There is not many things that infuriate an IT staff than a user trying to play the smartass with us.

A capable IT guy will be able to see EVERYTHING that you do on the corporate network. One thing that users dont seem to realize (or pretend they dont realize) is that the network access and the computer that the company provides you to do your work are company's property, not yours.

Besides, you are payed to do your job. Dont like the rules? GTFO! nobody is forcing you to stay! but if you do, dont go ranting on FB and twitter.

>>59535849
This doesnt solve much, again, a capable IT staff will be able to watch your traffic.

>>59535869
>Can i prevent this from happening again somehow?

Again, this will altert IT staff sooner or later, and you'll be flagged as a troublemaker that is putting company's assets at risk by circumventing internet access restrictions.

Honestly i could start a conspiracy so big i'd get them all out and just hire new incompetent IT fags from /g/ that have no clue what they are doing and i can shitpost again.

I could turn their life into hell with constant performance meetings, budgeting shit and what not. Get Finance in and we all gang up on IT lol.

You realize that this is a losing battle right?
If OP wins, then the IT guy gets replaced for someone better that will enforce harsher net access rules and policies, which in turn will be a return to square one, and that is if he were undetected by the previous IT guy.

There's an easy solution to this problem

Setup a VPN at home and connect to it from work. A capable IT guy know your using a VPN but will see nothing but encrypted traffic beyond that.
>>
>>59536428
>called your bluff
>I-I-I was just kidding
yeah right.

Lets put it in other terms. Someone already mentioned that some of the boards in here are NSFW, and whether you liked or not, 4chan have a certain reputation.

If someone catches wind that an employee is an active 4chan user and content hosted in 4chan is being in your network / saved on a company hard disk, this could be interpreted as a PR liability.

If some kind of cyberattack (virus outbreak, ransomware, DDOS) is unleashed at your company guess which user will be at the top of the shitlist.
>>
>>59535727
you should've set up linux VM with VPN connection to your house on bridged connection (public wifi in your company?)

>>
>>59535867

But yeah, it mostly applies to work in IT. If you work in another market sector you should kys, kek
>>
>>59536472
So then the admin blocks access to the VPN and knows he's trying to hide his traffic so he can fuck around at work and waste the company's time. I'd block standard VPN access in a heartbeat. That would get him fired. OP just needs to do his job and stop going on a website that contains pornography at work. How retarded are you?
>>
>>59536513

yeah well like i said. We actually make the decisions about who gets fired and who doesn't. Its not that im on bad terms with my boss or the rest of the team. We are really close actually.

I assume the tech fags wanted to show off at the start of the year and proposed this initiative for no reason and honestly it probably annoys everyone but ofc they have to go through with the process.

I still feel really safe actually. Now that i realized that i can fire back i feel better.

Im still in this "fresh grad" mindset. I never really got out of it but i have some experience now and im not a student anymore who gets beaten around.

I-i-m a big guy now.

normal employers aren't like that at all, actually. they want you doing nothing but work on company time. if you're finishing your work in under 40 hours a week, they want to find that out so they can give you more work.

This is why normies that want to slack usually do it by stretching out two hours of work into eight, instead of just doing two hours of work and then chilling. It's why people put so much effort into looking busy.

>>59536578
>they want to find that out so they can give you more work.
but this is stupid, you know.
This kills alignment of employees and lowers morales.

But well, I work in IT master race, so I can actually play games from steam on my work laptop, play on xbox/ps4 available for everyone, watch movies, stream gaymes from my home and NOBODY EVER gives a shit as long as my work is done.

I can also work 4 out of 5 days remotely from my house and report only once a day for status.
Of course not mentioning the phone which has to be on and I have to be available, but nobody called me since like a year.

So, how does it feel to not work in IT? Do you enjoy being a wagecuck slave?
>>
>>59536536
So this IT person that is too lazy to block 4chan will instead sniff traffic, use their ESP to determine exactly what is going on over an encrypted, non-standard, home VPN connection, then will take it a step further by blacklisting an IP in an effort to penalize one user of a personal VPN?

I doubt that
>>
>>59536623

we have over 10k employees my dude across multiple continents.

It rarely ever happens that someone gets fired for "not working". Its usually down to performance which mean that he didnt do anything he just couldn't do it the "right way". Sure its interconnected bullshit but there are a LOT OF people who don't do anything at all and get paid a lot.

This is normal. One day you will find a job too and realize that everyones just chilling in an office.

I don't know if this is normal in the US or not, but here where I live IT companies are very desperate to get any employees at all, so they offer these sweet conditions.
Just think about it. If I'm 100% available and my work is done flawlessly then what's the point of me traveling 100kms to the company hq just to do the remote job for client anyway?
Just find a job, you'll understand what I'm talking about
>>
>>59536673
Yeah and they had his browsing history because he wasn't using a VPN to begin with. I've been down the same road at my work, although even more petty. It was over youtube. Not a word about it since I setup the VPN at home

It's simple then, just vote not to fire yourself and then no one can get rid of you.

If it's HTTPS, they would have to install a certificate on your browser to do this. Over regular HTTP, it's fully visible. 4chan doesn't force HTTPS. Over HTTPS all they see is the domain name and the encrypted data. say you visit https:// boards.4chan.org / g / they don't see the / g / part. Just encrypted data. Again, if it's a work PC and IT really wants to monitor everything, I'd assume they've installed a certificate in the web browser.

well thats simple my friend. You overthink this.

You aren't fucked at all. My corporation actually wouldn't hire you at all but that isn't because the people in HR personally hate you but because the company laid down policies and everyone has to stick to it. Its stupid because im sure we are leaving a lot of talent behind for no reason at all.

It is also a matter of equality unironically because once you start hiring people with degrees and give them the same starting salary for example they'd feel cheated when some non degree fuck gets hired without a degree and gets paid the same.

This is on a basic level for most positions but every company is different and has a different HR approach.

Since you are simply looking for an entry-level job just make sure that you made up for the lack of experiencing by acquiring some proof that you know what you are talking about. For example you could write a blog about things related to IT Support, get some free certifications (google them). edX, udacity, MIT OpenCours work.

Show passion for technology. If you can truly fix computers, be nice to users aka employees inside the company and do all the things required on the job description (at least most of them). Go for it. Apply.

Companies that reject you outright because you don't meet some basic qualifications aren't for you. Look further. There are so many of them out there. Never lose hope. Never give up.

Its not always HR that is the problem but im obviously biased and i rejected people out of spite before. We are human beings.

Whenever you see something like this, it's ass-covering. Why does a company, or its HR department, have a policy where those without a degree need not apply? Because the degree gives them something to point to if they hire a guy, and he turns out to be a moron. "But he had this degree, that was obviously grounds for us to think he knew what he was doing!", they can then say. The same logic holds for previous work experience.

there is no real reason for it and people know its dumb. Its just that many companies are still owned by old fashion decision makers who can't let go and the way degrees are handed out for free these days just devalues degrees even further.

In the US it is legal for your boss to monitor everything that is done on company computers, phones, mail, all that shit is his. I know of a store owner who would sit at her office in a remote location listening to the audio feed in real time from the store, creepiest thing I seen was someone walk in asking to buy something being told they didn't have it but could order it and then the phone rings it's the store owner wanting to talk with this lady, real shady 1984 shit. Consider yourself lucky monitoring your browser history is all he does, for all you know he could have a VNC server on the computer and see exactly what you do all day, I worked at a place that did that.

You couldn't bring your own laptop hooked up to your phone or just your phone for that shit? You treat any company computer or phone for its intended purpose and keep any and all private shit out of it, even if it is looking at buzzfeed all day, no work to do? Don't touch it.

learn how to deal with rejection. It happens to everyone all the fucking time in all aspects of life. Jobs, family, friends, dating.

Deal with it. Why care about a company that doesn't apply?

Don't fall for the meme where they made you believe that they have the power of you. The relationship goes both ways. They want work from you and you want money for that work. Its all there is to it.

You work has value to them and their money has value to you. Its not just them being in charge here.

Its pretty obvious when you have to deal with some faggot who is desperate and would take literally ANY job under the sun. Those people freak companies out just like women get freaked out by desperate guys who'd fuck a tree with a hole if it had a female name.

Heads up friendo. Only apply for companies you are comfortable working for, stand behind the product and what they do and they must be nice or else you won't move a finger for them. If everyone would do that collectively the world would be a better place.

>>
>>59535727

Uaah, this has been my nightmare for years.

I would probably say something like "/g/ helps me giving inspiration about programming, new ideas and I need to be up-to-date" or "it helps me relaxing and there fore becoming a better programmer".

But they have no right to ask you "what are you doing with your life", that's cocky. If they don't let you browse the internet, so be it. But they are hypocrites, because everybody relaxes every now and then. Some days you have 120% power and achieve a lot of things, some days you just can't be productive, that's normal. IMHO they should only care about your results, not about what you do to achieve them. A good chef is not a control freak, but someone who gives inspiration.

So maybe open only normie sites (online news, mail) like the normies do. They'll accept that. Or get a different job.

A somewhat challenging entry level IT job isn't the first job someone actually thinks about when he tries to make money for food.

>Why don't they just block 4chan outright?

If it's anything like our place, maybe they're downsizing? Here, they'll do anything they can to get rid of people without having to resort to redundancies (which are expensive and bad for morale). Basically they'll collect dirt on people, usually it's a collection of shit like "John said you were rude to him once on the 13th of November last year", "we noticed this job took x days to do when we think it should've taken x-5". But web browsing habits are a really easy trap.

Basically, why lock the rope away when they can let you hang yourself with it? If they don't want to employ you any more, they'll do the latter.

Apply for other jobs ASAP. You're fucked once you're on a performance improvement plan.

Next time use an encrypted VM tethered to your phone, or if you don't think they're monitoring other ports, VPN. Even Opera's will do.

Question to IT guys that browse 4chan at work: who watches the watcher?

If you're lucky enough to be the only IT guy, probably no one - but if a manager suspects something (a lot of sudden minimising going on) then it seems possible that they'd get an external IT company to come in at the weekend and sneak something in and hope you don't notice (who checks their PC for keyloggers and checks all the networking from PC to WAN for transparent traffic monitoring stuff every single day?)

I'm with one other IT guy and know that he's a) not very good at this kind of thing and b) does his fair share of personal browsing himself. It's not 100% risk free though!

Actually the reason for "SFW" boards is to avoid discussion getting excessively derailed by porn posters.

4chan browsing was never meant to be literally "safe for work", even the blue boards.

Not any of those guys, but I've typed like that on here for years and never heard it called Reddit spacing. It's literally just paragraphs. Did you go to school?

I own my own business so I can see things from the employer's standpoint. OP is being a retarded leech and should do a better job of faking like he's working if he doesn't want to get fired. You can't take legal action against your place of employment if you've violated your employment agreement and you get terminated for cause and it's all documented properly.
