Help exeeded Office cap without permission.

Idiot is so misguided/ignorant that he cannot even fathom that he was performing illegal downloads on his bosses credentials... Guy: if you were to be caught out by the copyright cops who do you think would go down? Hmmm?

Forget about bandwidth, cap or cost - what you have been doing can only be in clear contravention of your companies IT policies, a firing would be absolutely justified.
 
He probably told the boss and got fired. Should have taken the easy way out....shame. See what advise from a forum gets you.

Well he should still post here in any case. We want to know.
 
I don't understand this oke! WTH Roadkill, i mean i downloaded a torrent (Back when people actually used Torrents) and my Boss was emailed one of those naughty naughty letters, i aplogised and said it would never happen again! and then i gave him my download cause he wanted it too!

Grow some balls bud, as most people here have already said, be a man. Character is not built on what others think of yourself, but what YOU think of yourself, so if you want to runaway/dig a hole to hide in/Lie to cover your ass, well you must really be a swell guy...

and P.S. i am judging you, for this sure, but mostly coz you tuned East London.... Bloody Agent!!!

You... YOU don't touch me on my "STUDIO"... i am sorry "THREAD"

The original post was advise on how to get me out of this pickle. Been seeing to many Politicions getting away with it, so i saw a gap. "Baby Zuma due soon, but father committed suicide more than 9 months ago, my case in point." (Yes, i read the news, I not only cruise torrents)

Its the basic instinct of "fight" or "flight" of a trapped animal. I considered the moral debate before posting, therefore only wanted answers. I did not once say the Devil made me do it, i maintain it was a mistake on my part.

To the people that only posted to kick me in the nads;
1) Well done on increasing your post count, you are now "Grand Master".
2) I apologise for taking you away from your terabyte download goal this month.
3) I suggest you get some vitamin D and visit a friend that has downloaded the same movie as you. and while you are at it, confess to speeding this morning, and pay your TV licence while you are at it "AS ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO"
4) Its the reason people have caps, is because you are to lazy to go to your mate and copy his, or maybe your spine has melted from in-activity.
5) Congrats on turning a simple question into a moral debate, which from the onset, i said i stuffed up. I did not once say the "DEVIL MADE ME DO IT"
6) If i wanted a moral debate, i challenged one of the Posters to create "Kick Roadkill2 in the nads" thread, which i am still waiting the link for. ( I apologise for the lack of referance, as his name was forgetable)
7) I typed this slowly, so you would understand.

To the people encouraging me to confess i thank you.

To the people offering usefull advise on network upgrades, i commend you. (Smoothwall Advisor) will pass it on.

All to often the web is filled with opinions, as we know is like *********s, everyone has one.

The web would be alot more useful, if people answered the question, and kept their opinion aside.

In my opinion at least.

And yes, i did have sexu@l relations with that woman! And yes i did un-intentually cap the account.
 
Good Evening.

I assume today was not the best day for you RK2.

Are you still employed?

i ask because no one wants to lose their job ....

& that is not something i wish on anyone :(

I hope you relax & have a wonderful evening :)
 
@Roadkill: I think most people here became agitated when it seemed that you're adamant on hiding your mistake from your boss. It seems from your posts that you did indeed do the whole confession thing: in that case I congratulate you. I also hope that, if so, your boss will be lenient and understanding on you.

As for the opinions, I'd like to think that the majority opinions in this thread helped you to make the right decision.

6) If i wanted a moral debate, i challenged one of the Posters to create "Kick Roadkill2 in the nads" thread, which i am still waiting the link for. ( I apologise for the lack of referance, as his name was forgetable)

Here ;-)

So WTF happened:confused:
 
Was my pleasure... some of us do have staff who have been in a similar situation...

If you were my employee and confessed prior to me finding out, I would be more lenient in my sanction than if I had to initiate an investigation that will cost me time and money.

Honesty IS the best policy.

But yes,

So WTF happened:confused:
 
Well we know he did reach the cap so no more playtime on mybb during the week at work :)

He probably got his ass kicked 6 ways from Sunday..

I'm glad he confessed (for the bosses sake) but sorry it seems he still has his job (due to his smug post). Oh well, next thread :)
 
the don,

i can almost bet that he was not ''smug'' (as you put it) when he spoke to his boss...
 
LOL @ ChlliGirl :) Yeah, more like tail between legs with a high pitched voice :) Makes me think hyena..

It is because of people like you that need to download the web, that people have caps. If the cap would run over till the next month, then i would not touch it with your virus infested mouse. As the Company could use it on the rolling month.

But as the ISP have to pull some cap back from the people, because of hoarders like yourself., it gets taken away.
I can picture some Rich Granny being fleeced in a 2gig package to read her knitting updates.

Remember back when your Providers;
1) 3g cap was taken away because you never used it for the month, which you payed for.
2) Telkom would disconnect you from dialup when they had R7 all weekend connection deals, so you would have to re-connect for another R7.

Who profited?
 
LOL @ ChlliGirl :) Yeah, more like tail between legs with a high pitched voice :) Makes me think hyena..

Your hyena analogy is correct, i scavenge the leftover bones at the end of the month only. Unless is poh hits the fan. No harm in that i see.
I suppose you are the person that puts an empty water bottle/empty milk carton in the fridge at work, instead of filling/replacing/binning it again.
 
5 ront says, with all his ducking and diving on answering the question directly, that he didn't own up! There's still a vein of "I'm justified in what I did" so I don't think his view has changed or a lesson learnt..other than don't get caught next time.

If above is true....Thats my boy Roadkill2! You got away with it congrats. Next time just be more clever when you steal bandwidth. And remember only dumb criminals get caught. :D Happy downloading.
 
What is load to b.ll.h.t ... move on... either RoadKill had to guts to speak to the boss... and is in the clear... or has decided to keep quiet, wait and see... live in fear... until someone investigates and clicks!

Again... RoadKill you seem to have an issue with coming clean...
 
offer to pay the boss for it, tell him you left your pc running accidently and it downloaded 6gb.
