      Sr. Systems Admin here. IT does not give 2 shits about what you browse UNLESS something is reported or something trips our Alerts (has to be something major like Child Porn).

      We don’t sit there and actively monitor and watch what you are browsing. We investigate when something is reported by a worker or an Alert/Filter gets tripped

      HR also doesn’t know unless we tell them.

        Depends on the company size and the people above IT. Sometimes the boss is a chode and demands everyone be supervised like children constantly.

          Probably for audit/investigation reasons.

          IT generally doesn’t care (doesn’t want to care) but you still shouldn’t do personal stuff on work machines/profiles.

        Yeah, but the it’s a good rule anyway, for some of the same reasons as the “Don’t put it in an email if you wouldn’t want it read aloud in a deposition” rule.
