I gay porned an entire company's computers after they refused to crack down on employees watching people being murdered all day. They threatened to fire me so I explained exactly why I had done this and that I would happily explain this at length in any subsequent employment tribunal. I kept my job and the management finally told everyone to stop watching people getting killed on company time.

WTF.... Who the hell would watch murder clips at work and how would management be okay with this, let alone on company time?? Unbelievable....

My co-workers thought it hilarious to line up clips of people being run over by trains or having their throat cut, then tell unsuspecting people that they had something very important to show them. Management didn't like being bothered by people complaining about what they viewed as guys being guys. Until they got an eyeful of guys doing guys, that is.

At a previous job, we had a "pipi" mailing list (pee, in French), where people would send "I went to pee" from unlocked computers. The "victim" themselves would often be members of said mailing list. That worked quite well, so organically, the list ended up being used mainly for random jokes, news and stuff, rather than the "I went to pee" messages.

My last work place did something similar, although using Justin Bieber photographs. I was Biebered a few times.

I'm not sure which is worse.

Downvoting the comment does not downvote the CEO or the practice.

The idea is interesting, and it could've been puppies or some other corny wallpaper that did the trick.

Charming CEO. I'm hoping this was the 90s.

Funnily enough, it was four years ago, somewhere in continental Europe. Things were a bit freer there. I didn't stay there long. I have a lot more interesting stories from that place.
