    Help desk guy caught jerking off at his desk by a female employee, which he had apparently been doing for a while without a whole lot of cleanup, further investigation uncovered.

    His keyboard, mouse, desk, floor mat, and chair were disposed of as hazmat. Monitor and PC were e-cycled.

      I used to work tech support for a company that made a product which involved sharing live or recorded videos. We would use the same instance for testing and troubleshooting, which occasionally involved broadcasting live videos.

      One morning, I signed on to look for something or other, and I saw that one of my co-workers (who was working from home) had a live feed. His camera was pointed straight at his crotch and he was going at it quite vigorously. I deleted the feed and I don’t know if he ever even knew what happened.

          Didn’t need a perfectly good coworker fired because he didn’t realize his camera was on.

            Stories like that are why my webcam shutter is closed AND it’s unplugged until I need it.

            Ain’t nobody seeing me unless I go through the effort to hook it up.
