I found out an employee was tracking activity because the HR lady left her office and left her door open. I logged off my computer to go home and her computer made a noise. I thought “wouldn’t it be funny if that was a notification that I just signed off?”. Well, I had to test this theory so I logged on and off several times in the next minute or so and sure as shit, every time her computer dinged because she was getting a notification.
