Subject: RE: blcking sites
you're right, my "statement" was too simple.
the pc is not mine, that's right, but my work is. so everything on the PC
that resulted
from my actions is under my responsibility.
Even this is questionable. I don't know about anyone else, but I read every
non-compete type document my employer(s) give me. In 100% of the cases,
somewhere in the document(s) it clearly states "your work is ours". IOW,
what I do at work is the "property" of my employer. Many a company has had
to draft a new one for me to work for them, because I see it as a
partnership. I.e. if I write a script that makes my job easier, I share it
with the company so that the other admins can benefit as well. When I leave,
the concept and code (removing any proprietary information like their
company name, etc.) comes with me. They are able to continue to use it, and
modify/improve it, but so do I. I am not interested in reinventing the wheel
at every company I work for just because they think it is theirs. After all,
my reputation and skills are usually a reason I was hired in the first
place. A lot of that has been built on the tools, utilities, tips and tricks
I have accumulated.
