In your role as a desktop support technician, you are directed to install an additional hard drive on an employee’s computer. You arrive at the employee’s desk and find him away from his desk. The monitor is off. You turn on the monitor to power down the system to complete the install. Rather than the login screen, the computer opens to a job application webpage for a competing company. The employee has completed most of an online application. He has indicated that he is available immediately. The employee is the lead programmer for a new mobile app that is supposed to launch next month.
What do you do? The answer is not simple. At first I thought it was. This is just one of the many ethical issues facing those in the Information Technology career field. #If its to be you, what will you do?
