I think the valid question here is #3 - Why would you do that? I don't know about everyone else on this forum, but I have too much to do to try and get an operator fired in this way. And if you ever got caught doing this, would you really want to lose your own job?

This has been an interesting thread. It seems we all really ENJOY auditors... Can someone say prostate exam?

If I wanted to get an operator fired, I'd have to come up with far better cause than questionable use of system commands.

In the city of Chicago, there are a number of shops where the operators are unionized, either Teamsters or Internation Brotherhood of Postal Workers. Supposedly, this is for the protection of the operators, so they can't be arbitrarily fired. HORSEFEATHERS! It's just because the union wants to collect dues money! In one shop, the unionized operators took some serious hits: they lost a week of vacation time and instead of 100% Major Medical/Hospitalization coverage, their coverage dropped to 80%. And the staff was small enough that dues were paid by payroll deduction.

Dumb move, folks. You didn't do your homework!

Any operator (or any other employee) that acts in a malicious fashion deserves to be fired.

An incompetent operator (or any other employee) should be trained; if training oppurtunities are refused, let him/her go and "explore other challenges".
