Reading a thread on the other place, from auscorp and people being fired for accessing data they shouldn't. Man, why? Like, firstly, the Privacy Act is really fucking strict, and is drilled in during training, with excerpts used in the e-learning and whatnot. Secondly, one user states their ex-colleague looked up the CEOs account for the bank they worked at lol, so so so dumb π
Reminded me of when I worked at one of the energy companies, and we heard Hugh Jackman had an account with us. We were told, so extremely explicitly, not to access it at all, don't even think of accessing it, he has an account manager so we mere phone monkeys have no reason to check it out and we'll be fired if we do.
Nek minit, my colleague left her brain cells at home and did the dumb. π She was fired so fast time stopped for her π
Smdh
Yeah, I remember years back someone phone up a radio station saying that a well known celebrity claimed their cosmetic surgery as medical procedures. Itβs like dumbass, someone will recognise your voice.
The level of entitlement to know peopleβs personal information is mind boggling.
It's so stupid and audacious π like, the company will have ways to find whether you accessed data in good faith, and will kick you to the curb if you didn't note the account with a good reason as to why it was accessed. People have been seriously injured and died from assholed accessing data to find where they live. It's protection that should never be violated.
Like, we were even told not to access our own accounts, or accounts of people we know. If we got a call from someone we knew, we had to transfer it to a different consultant.
Like, what goes through these people's heads that they think they won't be caught and sacked? I don't get it π
