Yesterday proved to be an interesting day at work. I received an e-mail from a woman in HR to come see her about an issue involving one of the people who work for me. I go into her office and she explains that IT runs sweeps of everyone's computer from time to time. It seems they found something on a young guy's computer. It was a word doc, which they normally don't really look at, except the title was....
Tonya blows for some blow.
It-as they're required to-printed it and handed it to her in a folder. She passes it to me, and says "Just skim it, its adult material' now this woman is in her sixties and I know we never know, but I'm thinking she's as proper as she seems and she's got this appalled look on her face just handing it over. I take a quick look, and yeah, it could be a story on here no problem. I made it a point to just put it down because part of me wanted to read more of it.
Anyway, now what?
We have to call the kid into the office and show him what we found. he claims it was sent to him in his personal e-mail-which we're not supposed to be checking on work devices, and he accidently hit download instead of delete. I told him that sounded a little sketchy, he then admitted that he wrote it.
After I pause to consider the irony of this situation, I explain how technically we could terminate him and that was left to my discretion. He's a good kid, comes to work every day, works hard, very polite and never a problem with anyone, so I gave him a written warning told him it happens again, etc...
He was relieved, but embarrassed as hell, doesn't want people to think he's "messed up." and I leave it at your personal life is yours, I don't judge, but keep it out of work.
The entire time this is happening all I can think of is this kid-and the woman from HR-are sitting across from someone who has been writing smut ranging from some racy romances to hardcore BDSM, taboo and anything in between and there were moments I struggled to keep a straight face. I kept envisioning myself tapping the folder and saying, "Hey, this isn't bad, keep writing!" like I'm commenting here. Part of me wanted to tell him about Lit when I saw him later in the say but...keep that shit out of work is what the man said.
I keep thinking about and it makes me laugh every time.
