Even better if you work remotely and their network goes down. Because yours works just fine and you can just browse Lemmy while they fix it.
Damn I wouldn't even dare using office WiFi for personal stuff. Would be fine but maybe I am just paranoid.
As someone who works in the edge networking side of things you are not being paranoid. Logging all web activity is extremely common. Some industries require it even if the powers that be in the company don't want it, and it might surprise you on which verticals require it (education providers are a good example).
Oh I am confident they log everything as well but I don't know if they would do anything about some Lemmy traffic once in a while. I don't think they can afford to check everything if its not flagged or something like that but seems too risky especially when you can just use mobile data.
I wouldn’t do it. Not worth the risk.
"VPN issues" has saved me from so many pointless meetings...
Those are the only remote work days when I can break out Steam or Netflix during business hours.
