I don’t think it helps IT stereotypes much when new information reveals that one-third of IT employees admit to secretly snooping on coworkers. What kind of info are they sneaking a peak at? Oh just minor things like salary information and personal emails. 47 percent admit to having accessed at least some sort of information that was not relevant to their role in the company.
I don’t think this new study reveals anything we didn’t already assume. 33% actually seems a bit low to me, though I guess it is a job threatening act, so 1 of 3 risking their jobs just to check out some emails does seem kind of crazy. Perhaps sending porn to your buddies via your company email isn’t such a good idea anymore?
File that under don’t piss off your IT coworkers.
