    Nonsense! Calum is doing what Calum does at home. If the company doesn’t want to see it they shouldn’t be watching him like that when he’s at home.

    Remember: Calum isn’t feeling well. Any doctor would say Calum is doing his part to get better and stay healthy!

      Calum is using a work machine for personal actuvities, though. A little Youtube never hurt anyone but straight-up watching porn “between enquiries”, which sounds like during work hours or something, is kinda not on.

      Work shouldn’t distrust employees this much and these measures never lead to increased productivity but Calum is also a complete fucking idiot.

        I read it as likely to be a personal computer using a remote connection, mostly because Gary told Calum how to hide the screen on the remote connection instead of telling them not to do it on a work computer.

        Either way, being called out for watching porn while apparently working from home due to something they need to recover from is priceless.

        If he’s using an RDP connection then it’s not about work not trusting him, it’s about him leaving all the defaults on. Standard behavior for RDP connections is for the computer to essentially just take commands from a remote mouse and keyboard as if they are commands from the local peripherals.

        The computer doesn’t know anything about the remote connection, so it’s just operating as usual which is why everyone can see the screen, because under normal operations that’s but a computer does.

        The email is just advising him to maybe change some of the settings so that it doesn’t behave as default.

      You seem to misunderstand. The tech isn’t saying, “Hey, we’re watching you,”, they’re saying, “Hey, your monitor here at work is showing off everything you’re doing and everyone in the office can see.”

      Calum is expelling his demons and should recover twice as fast!
