In my workplace i have two computer stations: the good internet room, and the crappy censored internet pc in the office. Working in the internet room is much better than the crappy office pc - yet its locked, and someone is putting things inside the lock to prevent my key from opening the room. They replaced the lock three times already, and its getting on my nerves. The internet room is located inside the cafeteria, which serves half of my work complex.
My work complex has about 2000 people.
In the very least, a few hundred people will go through this cafeteria in a day. How can i find which one of them tempers with the lock? To my knowledge i have no enemies in my work, and even if i had a suspect i couldnt get him to stop without an evidence. A camera is out of the question.
How can i find one suspect from hundreds of pepole? Are there any traps or detective tricks i can employ to find out whos this jerk is?
I don’t understand this either. Do other people use the computer room? What makes you think someone is messing with you in particular? Whoever it is could be doing it just to be a dick to everybody.
How often do they mess with the lock? Is it three times in the past WEEK, or in the past YEAR?
If a camera is not an option, then maybe what you need is a spy. Find someone to nothing other than sit in the cafeteria and watch for tamperers. This person can’t be you, because your presence will scare the tamperer away.Maybe hire a temp.
I’d be very surprised if it would be against the law for a business to put up a camera to find out which one of their employees is vandalizing the door locks.
A coworker was finding missing money from his desk. He set up a camera. He caught the night crew guy taking it. He notified HR, and then got the night crew manager. The thief was fired and his money refunded.
I assumed that he was using the computer in the cafeteria as part of his duties, but I think you’re right; he’s just avoiding work and surfing sites blocked by corporate IT.
