Wouldn't recommend unless you're in a startup.

You have admin access to your work laptop? Games should be fine, pirated games though will make the InfoSec team send a swat team to your house.

Take your chance and see how your IT software and firewall tools react. Also keep it ethical by not opening apps that access is internet from office network. Most importantly, never take chance with pirated games. Source: i am doing this with paid steam games and will remove it the day IT complains. So far so good for 1yr.

F*ck around and find out maybe?😅 
  
 Just kidding, never ever do this.

You'll never be fored for this, maybe just reprimanded by someone in IT team.

You will not ask this question, if you are serious about your job. I simply cannot comprehend.

Question to guys who are working part time for a startup Or foreign client along with a regular job.. How do you manage payments and hide your side-gig from your primary employer? 

Can you take payments in your own account or in account of someone else? 

How do you ensure your employer don't find out.. Perhaps use a different laptop .

I heard many of the Companies offering WFH/Remote/Hybrid have been using time and employee activity tracking software since Covid.

A few of them take screenshots on a periodic basis, monitor clicks per hour, option to view any employee's screen on live basis , tracking and reporting time spent on non-work websites.

Please do name the Company for awareness.

Does your office have any employee monitoring trackers ?

Does your company have a keystroke monitor?

Program Manager

So, I joined this company located in Delhi last year from Bangalore as a permanent WFH employee. Initial 6 months were fine, even though I was aware they had pre-installed tracking software called "Teramind" while sending  the laptop! But in the last 3 months the work culture or environment has completely flipped and turned into Toxic.

First they made us install a remote tracking software called "Hubstaff"  which tracks keyboard and mouse activity and time, and takes 4 screenshots every 10 minutes.

Then they made it compulsory 8 hours a day excluding any break like lunch or tea.

This month they tied work hours with Salary and started deducting the entire day's pay even if you are short by like half an hour!  

Almost all employees know they need to leave but are kinda stuck due to the current job market situation.

I'M thinking of quitting without finding another job now, I'm just mentally tired and frustrated with the situation I find myself in. All my emotional energy is spent, I just don't know what to do😞

Toxic Remote Policy

We know that every key stroke on our laptop can be tracked by the office IT team. How safe do you think it is to use banking sites on our laptops?

Do you use banking sites on office laptop?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious—do you use your personal laptop or your company-issued one for personal tasks? I’m considering buying a new 15” MacBook Air (around 70k INR with an exchange bonus), but I’m wondering if it’s worth it since I can do almost everything on the company laptop.

Is it really necessary to spend that amount? What do you all think? Do you prefer using your company laptop or your personal one for personal tasks?

Recently, our company has been preparing for an IPO, so they’ve started tracking activity and blocking some sites. I’m unsure if it’s still wise to use the company laptop for personal stuff.

P.S. If you do use a personal laptop for certain tasks, why not use the company one for those instead?
