Stupider than Stupid
Yesterday, I come back into the office after my lunch break, and as Im going through my programs to open up Microsoft Word, I notice something odd. My programs are usually in a specific order and they have been completely rearranged. I finally notice what it is, its my MSN! Its not there! I sit there for a little bit, confused, knowing that it must have been my boss, but completely in denial, till i see a lil envelope on my taskbar indicating a new email...I open up my outlook and this is what I find:
You will notice that all chatting programs have been removed from company computers. That is because your jobs do not entail or require chatting of any kind.
Please note that even if you were chatting during lunch break or after working hours this is no longer allowed at *********** Co.
And should you like to chat online please do so at home. Kindly do not re-install any chatting programs on your machines.
Dont get me wrong, I have absolutely no objection with them removing msn or disallowing it, i mean its their right, my problem is the fact that they did in this sneaky way while we were all on our lunch breaks....I dont know, it feels wrong...Especially since in this company, we have(or had!) a friendly family-like atmosphere...
Would it have killed them to ask us to remove it and do a check of it later on? While we were actually AT our computers.. It kills any sense of trust...
OK now here comes the REALLY stupid part...my boss, when she removed MSN, she deleted the shortcut. She didnt even uninstall it or anything...Im sorry but that is asking for it! I go into the C drive and check under program files and its there! Fuck how stupid is that! If you're going to try and be all smart and powerful and all, it totally defeats the purpose when by doing so, you show the world how completely inadequate you are...Plus there's still windows messenger, and although it makes me feel like im stuck in 1997 it does the job...
I am so glad to be out of here....
