Archived Anybody Been Screwed Over At Work Due to Their TBR Activity?

[Redzee]

TBR has answered critical questions, provided a strong sense of comradery, a place to joke, rant and hell, dream. We have every right to be here. Can't stop the signal.

I recognize a few of my coworkers by their posts, and I'm sure they recognize me too. It's never been talked about and frankly I don't think any of us want to talk about it.

Spot has never mentioned it to me either, I know a couple team leaders who have used TBR, until an STL told them it was a bad idea.

To be honest, though, if my "identity is exposed" and I get CCA'd or performanced out or whatever might happen, I'd be okay with just switching retailers. Spot is a little ridiculous anyways.

Spot can barely make a working work bench site, thier apps stink, and don't get me started on Spot.com. Some how I am not worried about them tracking my IP.

I still have friends at my store that I want to protect.

 

[Flabbergasted]

I've often felt like I was the only person at my store who used this site, and I'm glad that was the case. Not once in my 14 months there has this site ever been mentioned by anyone else who worked with me, nor have I been "found out" due to my posts. And I've posted some pretty specific shit that I'm sure could out me to someone. W/e.

I recently asked an ETL s question and he asked how I heard about it and I told him TBR and explained what it was. Sorry guys.

This. Spot has enough going on to be concerned about this place.

I like having ETL's come here.
I just hope he's one of the cool one's and doesn't give you a hard time.

 

[konk]

I will be gone before he stops being the new friendly ETL. He acted like he didn't know about it. Yeah right! He's been with spot for a few years.

....I have viewed this site, along with many other questionable sites while on the Target Guest Wifi. Never porn of course. Not at work. But I google weird shit when I need something to read. Now I am irrationally paranoid. I've noticed that the wifi blocks some sites. If any of you are familiar with Maddox, I can't view his website while on the Target wifi.

I've only heard one person ever mention this site to me, and it was a GSTL. I didn't know what she was talking about though. I just remember her saying it was a place where employees got to vent about stuff. For some reason I didn't look it up until years later though.

I'm using the site on wi-fi right now. I do all the time, I doubt spot has time to dig through the data to figure out what people are doing...

If their "spy program" is anything like the mydevice or card reader reliability, I'm not too worried.

LOL

This made me literally laugh out loud.

You have a strong point there, friend.

 

[LogisticsFox]

Oh, I can guarantee that spot has a lot or resources behind this as browsing habits are worth quite a bit in today's internet economy (targeted advertising is the biz these days). And it's not like they have to snoop it out. That user agreement gives them permission to just take it from your phone.

There was some sort of update yesterday to my devices that deleted the "My Work" application. Also known as the application that gets used for 99% of the time when you use a my device.

I have to navigate around the menu boxes on the new work bench because if I mouse over even for a moment the white menu pops up and once they pop up they often refuse to go away. Which blocks the link I wanted to click on.


They may have resources but Spots track record with tecnology is not that hot.

 

[Flabbergasted]

I always told myself that if I were ever confronted by someone at work questioning whether I used TBR, I really wouldn't give a shit. What are they going to do? Fire me for browsing a private web site on my own private time off the clock? Am I supposed to be afraid of the big corporate bogeyman who's going to knock on my door or something? Nah. I'm here to spread truths. If Spot wanted to nail me for my posts here (which they couldn't definitively prove were mine anyway), let them. I can call myself a whistleblower or some shit like that.

I visit this site almost daily on our Target wifi. My ETL and TL know I visit the site and they don't have s problem with it.

 

[HRZone]

Not yet despite visiting on Target wifi.

I do this as well, I just cant imagine corporate would invest that much time into figuring out who is who on this site. They would have to do some Snowden stuff to figure out which of the thousands of people who use the store wifi each day are 1 of the 180 team members at my store.
