What I found was it was amazing how many places don't have these  
monitors. One well known company, which will likely have records on  
every UK and US individual here didn't have monitors for this. In fact  
they questioned why I wanted to have an audit log of accesses and  
individually identify everybody in the company I work for who accesses  
their system.

It's also amazing how many of our call centre people scour the user  
base and post round amusing names to their mates. I've helped in  
getting quite a few people sacked for this sort of abuse...

But, in essence, this process is rife throughout places, especially  
call centres, which have high turn over and low quality of staff.
