I WFH and got a new laptop from work. I immediately put tape over the camera.
Internal IT reached out and said I had to uncover it. I asked why. they said because they run software that takes snapshots of the camera to ensure I'm the one using the system.
I complied. 👺
I have a standing desk and a ceiling mounted TV as a monitor. kept the new laptop on the desk and a keyboard on the standing part and worked from my TV for a week. it was a hot week. I didn't wear pants....or underwear or clothes.
they had a weeks worth of saggy sweaty ball pics. IT reached out, awkwardly. "Hey uh...is something wrong?" I play dumb "IDK, is there something wrong?" Silence then, "BTW we talked it over with HR, you can cover your camera." enthusiastically "Really? Oh man, I appreciate it. My office gets really hot and I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. Thanks for clearing this up for me!"
I have never heard anything else since that day. I mean, what are they going to do? Fire me for inappropriate behavior...in my home?
fuck em. got what I wanted.
I don't believe a word of it, but it sounds funny. So thanks for the story.
That's fucking amazing man lmao you are an icon
