Great, just what we need, more corporate overreach. Keep your nose out of people's screens, it's lunchtime for crying out loud.

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T23:14:28.000Z

Exactly. Fines or nothing, all talk.

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T22:39:28.000Z

Yeah right. Privacy Commissioner says it's a problem but does anyone actually get fined? Nah, just a slap on the wrist.

Worked at a place where managers would check our browsing history during lunch breaks. Absolute joke. You want loyalty? Try trust.

Aria Wilson2026-07-16T23:21:28.000Z

lol cope. Use your own device then.

Aria Wilson2026-07-16T23:36:28.000Z

ffs, if you don't wanna be snooped on maybe don't use work laptops for porn. Common sense.

Blake Turner2026-07-16T23:48:28.000Z

What a load of shit. My boss literally sits behind me and watches my screen. How is that legal?

Blake Turner2026-07-17T00:39:28.000Z

stuffed mate. It's illegal actually.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-16T23:59:28.000Z

It's sad but true. Trust is gone in so many workplaces. We're all just numbers now.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-17T00:17:28.000Z

is a two-way street. Hard to give when they take.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-17T00:12:28.000Z

In IT we see this all the time. Companies install spyware then act surprised when staff morale tanks. Shocker.

Tom Harris2026-07-17T00:36:28.000Z

lol classic deflecting. Typical.

Tom Harris2026-07-17T00:26:28.000Z

Yeah nah get stuffed. If they're paying you, they can watch. Just don't be an idiot.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-17T00:32:28.000Z

I bet the Privacy Commissioner's own office is spotless... or is it? 👀

Rowan Blake2026-07-17T00:44:28.000Z

This is why I work from home. My cat can snoop on me all he wants.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-17T01:02:28.000Z

nah, plenty of offices are dodgy. Source: I work in one.
