@Konsole We have a long standing tradition in our office, if you leave your computer unlocked your computer might get messed with (ie crazy wallpapers, larger text). Its a friendly reminder to practice good security.
Right now we have a newer guy getting his feeling hurt over it 🙄 One of the managers sent out an email talking about "professionalism in the workplace".
Just hate things getting a little too formal. Being professional all the time is boring.... -
inaba46255yJust say what you did lmao. Saying things you might have done makes it sound like you did something really dickish that justifies why they're annoyed with you
> Just hate things getting a little too formal. Being professional all the time is boring
Then do that with the people you know. Grow a pair and say "sorry m8, won't do [whatever I did] again." -
@-Minty- To clarify it's nothing specific I did. Just lemmenting a change in workplace environment. Used to be chill and now just getting.... different.
Not trying to be a jerk, it's just a rant. -
nibor48775yShouldn't professionalism in the workplace be locking your workstation when leaving your desk?

haze2715yFirst thing I was warned about in a new office was this. That someone might use my email to promise to bring donuts. Etc.
We have like 2 people who do that and they and I usually aren't in the office in the same day, but it was a great reminder about security. -
W77ng235yHappens here also, except Ctrl+Alt+down has been known to mess with people.
Or a fun Nicolas Cage app so he shows up randomly, because who doesn't love Nicolas Cage when they return to their desk? -
@W77ng If wallpapers are an option, I have always been more of a fan of David Hasselhoff puppy calendar shots. I have gotten some great reactions with those in the past. 🤣

@bhouston at one of my previous jobs, "Hasselhoffing" was the default punishment for leaving your device unlocked. Your wallpaper, profile picture, etc. would all be changed when you got back.
