Maintain your privacy at work

This morning's article in RECRUIT in the Straits Times highlighted 7 ways to maintain one's privacy at work...

The title caught my attention - because that reminded me one habit of a colleague - we'll never know whether she's around or not... 'cos her PC is always on... even after she leaves for home... not even logging off... That's dangerous, in fact... what if someone is out there to sabotage her and send out email on her behalf?

Maybe one has to learn through hard a hard way?

Here are the 7 points in the article:

  1. Read the staff handbook
  2. Limit company e-mail for private use
  3. Don't send an e-mail you might regret
  4. Keep your password private
  5. Don't visit certain websites
  6. Activate screensaver password
  7. Be punctual
