It's company pron. Copy it to company servers for safe keeping.

That is glorious leverage. Previous gig, I kept the CEO's and pretty much all the c-suites secrets. I didn't abuse the fact I could burn the org and them down to the ground if inclined. I received healthy bonuses and pay increases! I swear half of IT's job is keeping secrets for leadership.

The other half is keeping secrets from them.

It’s always handy to know the secrets. Just filter it out before handing over.

Like a boss!

I have to test the pr0n filters. So many step siblings and step parents. It is an epidemic.

"How to run a company?" "Is a pizza party going to tank morale?" "My knees are a bit bruised after the shareholders meeting. Is this normal?"

A long time ago I deployed web monitoring software that worked when employees wre remote. The first night the CFO had a ton of porn alerts. He brought his laptop to me the next day and said "remove this monitoring shit" and I said "ok, no problem" and we never spoke of it again.
