A new survey finds that one third of IT staff "take advantage of their
position to look through private files, wage data, personal emails, and HR

surprise you that so many of us snoop around your files, wouldn't YOU if you
had secret access to anything you can get your hands on?"

People with power and who abuse that power suck. I've had access to
more than my share of private information and was never even
interested in looking at it. I've always figured the less I know about
the people I work - or my employers - with the better off I am.
