Looking at guns at work bad?

A friend of mine used to do IT work for a large corporation. He said that he was amazed at how many people watch porn on their work computer.

Likely, not true... at least with large corporations.

Large corporations with thousands of employees have lots to lose from sexual harassment lawsuits and such. IT departments install software that prevents their computers from accessing anything nefarious on the internet. So, employees are actually prevented (protected) from “mistakenly” searching or clicking on porn hub.com. You get the proverbial “This web site has been blocked by your employer” ​message.

So what happened in HR?

HR will be calling me tomorrow, most likely to term me.

You are correct, ironically lucky Gunner and a few sites regular domains did eventually get blocked, but clicking on a Google search for lucky Gunner blog got me back on the site.

If you violated a policy, then I suppose you have what's coming to you. Your opinion relative to the AR 15 rifle platform is moot to the situation.

I don't have anything against the AR15, just the maniacs who make the rest of us look bad by killing people with them. Why do you think I carry my new Glock 43x concealed at church now? To stop an insane person who gives the AR a bad rep

Are you on good terms with your boss? Would he give you a good recommendation and a reasonable excuse for you leaving? I think most HR departments will only verify employment dates of past employees, for fear of being sued. Having your boss on your side would be a big help.

Would you trust a liberal to protect your home? That's about how much I trust my soon to be former boss. We are cordial but not pals

To make you feel a bit better. My wife got shitcanned by the state due to the incompetence of a vendor she'd already reported as being incompetent. They laid the fuck-up at her feet. After all, can't be pissing off campaign donors by terminating their contracts. It took a bit, but she snagged a private sector job making 30K more than she was with the state. Not all endings are bad.

Still, he can be very helpful in getting a new position. I would talk to him about whether he'd give a recommendation and what he would say about your leaving.

Boss mightve been the one to report me, so I'm probably toast soon

Honestly,

If your manager was the one to report you, it's probably going to be a good thing in hindsight if you get a different job.

If he doesn't have the initiative to talk to you about your behavior instead of making it HR's problem without trying, he's not doing a very good job of managing.

At least, that's my view.

Wishing you luck for tomorrow, hope it goes well for you. I do look forward to hearing how you make out and what they tell you. It's situations like that that do make me thankful that I finished out my working career in a union environment, the parameters were in black and white and I knew what they were.
