@adstudio, you didn't read my PM then?

If he's monitoring you this way, it's very likely that he's reading this as well.

I have already started looking for another job, they do not seem to care whether or not the network admin here is abusing his job...

On another note, I am now unable to post up any screen shots, I had several screens saved to different sections in my directory, as well as 3 other co-workers directories just in case he decided to go through mine. Turns out he went through theirs too, and deleted any screen shots i had saved, over the weekend he replaced the computer i was working on with another one, and also locked me out of even more areas of the computer. Now i'm not even able to get to task manager, I'm not even able to get to the display properties to change my resolution (which is rediculously low right now!)

I'll be talking with the bosses 1 more time about this problem and hopefully they will hire someone to come in and check on what he has been up to.


I love coming into a company like this after the "bad guy" has been booted out and cleaning up shop. Hopefully that will happen here.


We got to give the boot to a BOFH a few months ago... complete with midnight raid to the server room and shutting down a few porn/warez servers that were hidden in the network room and a total system lockdown and revamp to lock that turd out. \:D

The little punk was the owners son who had sold the company, and was grandfathered in by the new owners.

The things adstudio is telling are, IMHO, very serious.
If I were that administrator, and the story would not be true, I would not hesitate either to contact my superiors to tell my side of the story.
On the other hand, if the story is true, I would like to wish adstudio all the luck in his current or future career.
I think that company has to clear out that situation as soon as possible.

But to play devils advocate here....

How do we know that ADStudio is not really a new network admin, and is looking to find out what kind of stuff he can do with KiX?

As a community we tend to be very trusting and alway's willing to help out, without to many questions.

Just an observation....

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't been on the boards in a few days...
I kind of came to an understanding with the admin after having a few "choice" words haha, and now i'm able to get my work done without problems. Since then though, I have changed my credit cards, and all passwords from my personal computer.

Gargoyle - I can understand where you're coming from, but If I was an admin I would have atleast some knowledge of networking software. Atleast enough to search for specific ways to do things I want to do myself... This thread would not help you learn how to do anything, just inform someone who does not know anything about it.

Bryce - That sucks! Especially knowing that you can lose your job because of someone else doing those things.

masken - I haven't been on, but I will check it out now.

Les - Actually, yes He has browsed here and told me he knew I was looking for another job. This is the only place I said anything, not even an email sent about it. I did however send an email with the link to KiXtart from work, which is how he knew I'd be here.

But anyway, As of right now my work isn't being hindered and I'm able to do what I need to do. I just don't use my personal emails, or buy anything from that computer anymore. So thats where it stands right now.

I hope you both can live in understanding. If not, and if you have nothing to be afraid for, IIWY, I would talk to my superiors.

adstudio,
I am sorry this guy had made your life rough, I am a NetAdmin and all that I have read appalls me, his actions are a serious security breach. I think it would be in your and your superiors best interest if you discuss this with you superiors. Consider if he has done this to you that he has probably has done this to others, probably your CEO, don’t you think that your CEO would be interested in what has happened. If I were you I would go directly to your CEO and speak only to your CEO. Seriously, think about the implications of what has happened, this guy feels he can get away with anything. If he feels vengeful he will probably do something to destroy any data on your network and that could have serious ramifications to the financial stability of your Organization.

If senior management or the HR rep would not be interested in remedying this issue that the company has a much bigger problem, namely a lack of understandign of workplace regulations and potentilly even a tendency towards ethical lapses.

The network admin's behavior would be reason for immediate termination at my company. But then again, we fired an IT guy for sending Microsoft product keys to his personal email account.
