Managers: Please stop asking the help desk (or worse, InfoSec) to go through your recent ex-employee’s computer files for “anything important” before they wipe the device.

First of all, if it was “important” it shouldn’t be on the device. Period.

Second, you’re expecting the Help Desk to know what’s important. Knowing what’s important to your team’s/org’s operations is YOUR job. I hope you don’t ask the janitors to go through your trashcan to make sure you didn’t throw anything important away…

Finally, it raises privacy issues. Yes, I know in the US lots of companies have that “no expectation of privacy” clause in the employee handbook. But it’s still invasive and leaves staff feeling sleazy and vulnerable. If you have a reason to search, make it clear and specific. Otherwise, work toward processes that keeps “anything important” in a place where it’s easily recoverable without rummaging through people’s life.

So you're supposedly hired to the "tech branch" office of a company, only to realise it's really just your run of the mill regular company, which so happens to have some software that needs developing.

Nevermind the fact that software is the business now.

So you have the usual hurdles: agile not really, bureaucracy supreme, overpaid non-tech bosses, no space for innovation (automation anyone?), etc.

What do you do after 3 years of this?
