Like hosted a website or a server for your personal needs, or taken a smartphone given to you for work or something like that.
No, I’m not stupid. Also technically everything you create on company time and/or company resources no longer belongs to you.
I did have a boss once (software development) who hosted his own website on the company servers. Not 100% sure if that was ever green lit by the CEO (maybe, maybe not). But I was really annoyed when the server had issues due to that private site, when I didn’t have access to the code to fix them.
You mean legally when I’m allowed/entitled to? All the time. I max out my benefits.
Why? If I’m allowed, I consider it part of my salary, and would be stupid not to cash it in.
The majority of labor is cucked (unpaid overtime, not using their sick days before they expire, ect).
My manager actually wants me to host a Minecraft server on company hardware to test our performance monitoring system, aren’t I lucky
Now if only I knew how to get players on it who aren’t my friends
This was more of a community service, but when I worked for a university office I ran a TOR node on one of my PCs. After a while though, IT sent someone to ask me kindly not to make it an exit node. Other than that they didn’t seem to mind. It was nice having excess bandwidth.
I also ran some distributed computing apps like folding@home.
I was working in my (poor third world) government job, and our keyboard broke. Replacements took months, since they only bought mouse and keyboards in bulk once per year or so, and they ran out of.
I had a second job working as a contractor for a private company, where we were contracted for a public hospital providing system administration and technical support. We had some old PS2 keyboards that were to be decommissioned, but since they didn’t have inventory number, I got hold of them and brought some to my other job.
So I donated some equipment from one area of government to another, but it was kinda illegal, lol 😆.
