proof?

> Turns out people actually don't really care about privacy at work

lol, won't ask for proof, because it's trivially falsifiable

Ask your IT department what they're tracking and they'll tell you. And yet I assume you still continue to go to work or do not actively seek out non-surveiling companies. By "everybody," maybe iI should clarify that it’s "majority" instead.

What if "the IT department" is just this one guy who asks me to Cc him an invoice when I buy a laptop and that's the end of it?

(yes that's a real story from my career, and the company was 100+ employees at the time)

That's fine but realize you are not representative of the average tech worker or indeed any white collar worker such as those we are talking about in this post.

As an old hand that's managed many people, I can tell you this is true.
