Can someone in EMIT confirm what the company tracks on our company devices? I always assumed they could track our activities but figured my boss was too busy to spend time checking up on us. Until last week a former colleague reached out and asked me to apply for a position at her new company. I submitted my resume through LinkedIn from my company iPhone. Within a few days I was getting emails and calls from managers 2 and 3 levels up asking about how I was liking the job and what future assignments I had interest in. Then my manager called late one afternoon to tell me he was giving me a spot award for $200 but just wanted to let me know immediately because it would take a day or two to get the official letter. It all seems so strange because I am not a high flyer and was surprised the higher ups even knew my name. So the question does EMIT provide some sort of alert to supervisors whose employees are spending time or applying to jobs on LinkedIn?

I used to call ho----s in Midland on mine. Never had any issues.
Use DuckDuckGo and continuously hit the flame for any browsing.
"unless EMIT has cracked modern encryption (in which case, load up on XOM stock we’re now a tech company), they can’t see specifically what you’re doing in the site."
Nah Ace... I'm sorry to break it to ya... but it doesn't involve all of that, and hasn't for several years now. Especially not on a company-managed device. You might want to read up on SSL inspection and modern firewalls. Bottom line: If an entity controls the certs your device trusts, that entity can 100% read/log/record everything typed and displayed on that device if they want.
All company devices should only ever be used for something you'd be perfectly happy displaying on-screen in front of your boss, HR and leadership. Period. To do anything else is sheer folly. Nobody's going to tell you exactly what all the possibilities are. ;)
The company would track your personnal life if they could. That way they could have more control.
They can access certain things, such as your browsing history, but they can’t see what you did on the site. And they can tell if you’re uploading mass documents just from the data size. But applying on LinkedIn no. With both your device and the company network, it’s largely just used for legal reasons in case there’s thought of IP theft or other illegal activities. For LinkedIn, nobody is tracking who goes there, and unless EMIT has cracked modern encryption (in which case, load up on XOM stock we’re now a tech company), they can’t see specifically what you’re doing in the site.
@hkc+1fPMnlJX That is why I try to visit LEGG and the new stations as often as I can! Leave office at 7. Get to sites by 9:30 eating burritos and coffe along the way and listening to morning drive. Spend 20 minutes at each site and take 30 to the next until 2 mdt . Get on Jal Highway. Spend 1 hour going 30 miles to Jal. Make my Stripes stop. Little gin and tonic. Woyee, get back to return keys after all are gone from Holiday Hills office. Walk over to townhome to enjoy life🤣. This is life. Great H‑E‑B down the road to. What do you have at the campus to compare?
Has anyone her really shared there screen with a company technician who spoke broken English with a severe Indian accent. Well, Forrest Gump, that’s your box of chocolates.
Assume that if you do something via internet/VPN/3G//4G/LTE/5G that anyone and at anytime can know what you are doing. Paper mail and 1-800 landline calls were not safe. Electronic media is even worse. There are those out there that like to claim that this is safe to do if you will pay me $5.99 a month, but they are just harvesting your data. Make sure you are sober and have thought it through before hitting send. It’s like the .45 in the mouth. Commit or put it down.
I ams still waiting on a response on what agency I cangoto to host a Ukrainian woman. 30-45. Preferably blonde, but open to brunette.
Sometime I stop at the Stripes in Jal for a pint while on my way back to Holiday Hills in the pool truck. Do you think they know?
Sounds like you should keep applying for jobs on LinkedIn. You may keep getting spot awards and attention from the top brass
EXXON is as good as the trust you want to put into them. Take responsibility of your actions. Don't use company resources for personal business.
If you look under settings there’s a list of what’s monitored as part of Apple MDM. So yes, it does track stuff but not everything.
