While messing with a man's porn is truly a horrid act, he is the one who failed to treat his porn with respect and keep it in a safe but easily accessible place as all porn deserves to be treated.
You are not at fault my friend. It is this man's own disrespect of his porn that led to this.
don't sweat it. I am also in IT and I can say this....When people sign onn with a company and receive a network computer either for their workstation or at home, they are given the rules. No downloads that are not associated with work. Period. If he knew this, signed the contract, and did it anyway, it is on him.
I was helping someone that I consider to be a mild acquaintance. He lives next door to my building in a hotel while awaiting an assignment. I've had to go there to do work on his system. He always has a cold beer ready for me. We've talked about family and other things. A bit beyond niceties. I like the guy genuinely. He is always smiles and always shakes my hand warmly. We usually share a laugh about something.
I'm not a prude. Far from it. I think I have a healthy sexual appetite. The problem is that in the basics of my job I found a bunch of porn on this guy's system. I had to go to HR who told me to go to my supervisor who then went to his supervisor. About 10 minutes later I get a call and this guy asks me if he can borrow his system for a sec. I know what happened is that my boss told his boss about it and he told him to get rid of it. Part of me feels guilty. Part of me feels like I ratted someone out. The moniker of "its my job" isn't helping...
Dude! That's not very cool. You couldn't have warned him, gave him a heads up to delete it, or sumthin? If that was me I wouldn't trust you with anything, anymore. Yes it's your job, but at the same time isn't that what many people have covered their own crappy behavior in? "I was only following orders / doing my job / being a " 'true' " friend", is the oldest excuse in the book isn't it? I dunno, I work for a large company where I have to tell people "wink/wink, nudge/nudge" all the time to bring their behavior into line. It would be hard for me to trust you after that.
Reminds me of something my grandmother told me once, "sometimes in life you have to make hard decisions".
Personally I would warn him to get rid of it, but I wouldn't put my job on the line for him and he should know better.
I never understand why people put porn on their work laptops. My father told me that 10 guys were fired at his job (making big big money) for looking at porn. WTF!!!!
