6 things you never do on a work computer

in life •  7 years ago 

These days, many companies offer employees a variety of work devices from smart phones to laptops and even tablets to complete their work to the fullest.

1. Do not store personal passwords in the keys of your device .

Most of us used his work machines for eight hours or more a day. You go home with us, become our primary device, and often use more than our personal devices. Therefore, it is very easy to click the button when prompted to "save the password in the keychain".

It is always important to read company policies and procedures regarding the use of the Internet and equipment and know what you can and can not do.


2. Do not send written jokes to images in message programs.

As chat rooms are becoming increasingly useful, it is easy to use however, those messages are kept on a server somewhere. Trevor Tim says in an interview with Fast Company that any internal communication is monitored, including private conversations. Remember to be very deliberate about what you say and do not say on chatroom platforms.


3. Do not connect your device with Wi-Fi when working on important things

Over the weekend, many of us like to send work-related messages from Wi-Fi to a coffee shop or from Wi-Fi. However, places that offer free Wi-Fi, such as a neighborhood cafe, airport or hotel, can be very dangerous to your security and confidential information The work you are working on


4. Do not allow friends or coworkers access to your computer remotely.

"Now anyone you know on your computer can be reached from outside the office." Do not leave your computer with your colleague without first checking with your boss. Do not invite anyone outside the company to access your computer remotely, even if you have problems with the system or something like that.


5. Do not store personal data

It is very easy to have a "personal" folder on your desktop with all of your photos and family photos but it is important to remember that your work device or device is vulnerable to hacking. Although you own it, it still belongs to Microsoft or the company that You can publish your photos in pornographic sites, which will destroy you and destroy your reputation and your family's reputation.


6. Do not perform secondary functions on work computers

We have a lot of second or third jobs that we do as hobbies or to make more money, but as mentioned above, everything you do on your work machine can be legally registered by your employer and facilitate your IT data pull. Be careful about using your company's equipment for external work. It may seem harmless, but it can bring you serious consequences like expulsion from work, prison or worse
