Toytown can be dangerous

Oh wow is me, I just sat with my director having my report and he quoted what I thought of him directly from TT. he is'nt even on TT and so someone out there in TT has worked out who I am and told my boss... the creep.

Beware beware.

This is my last posting as phil99 and as I know who has done this to me on TT they shall pay.

So to all of you make sure you change your idents often and don't trust anyone TT=BB

Its not about changing your idents.

Just dont post insulting/negative remarks about your workplace or your colleagues or bosses.

Saying it is one thing, you can always deny ever having said something bad. But the moment you post it, its there forever stored.

You're lucky not to have been fired...or have you?

or do it to their faces...

that is shitty of both your coworker and your boss. you should be able to diss him on your own time (like I do mine).

to 3 lions... bog off...what is the point of TT if you cant have a good gripe...stop being so bloody condescending.
And I wish the administrators would stop removing the word bloody from my texts. I think it is far less forceful than F**k. Or should we also feck like father Ted??

Ouch! There's nothing worse than doing something like that and getting caught at it.

If you're stupid enough to slag off your boss in writing on PUBLIC forum, dont come on here fucking crying about it cos you got caught.

I have zero sympathy for you.

I bet this thread will not go down too well with his boss either!

Dunno really. My username is my real name, and obviously I try to make sure that if I post something I don't mind putting my name to it. I've never really been very good at dissembly, I have enough of a job keeping track of one personality let alone two or three!

Phil, I just looked through your posts and can't see where you slagged off your boss. Not that I expect you to point it out to all of us, but I'm curious where is it? PM me.

To 3 lions...yep phil99 is my real name and i used my bosses name and all ...duh...
whoever passed on the info has been putting 2 and 2 together maliciously.

so retract your insult or its pistols at dawn

Why should he? You expressed an opinion and there is ALWAYS a chance that somebody may use the information against you. You got caught, end of story. But the question is, if your boss (I presume he is still your boss) knows about this and, therefore, knows who you are online then why on earth are you continuing to write about it?

If the hole gets too deep then stop digging

Unless you're 100% sure you are anonymous and will remain so, I wouldn't post anything I'm not comfortable with anybody finding out who the author was.

Since that's not the case, I don't post anything I don't mind having my name linked to – just as if it were to appear in a public newspaper article w/ my full name under it.

I just had to bash my sympathy-o-meter on the desk a couple of times. Thought it was broken, but it seems it really *is* stuck on zero.

Sometimes I worry that my boyfriend will discover this site and read my posts. So, I try not to put him down too much

BTW: Sympathy factor = 0

Oh show some fucking bollocks man.

?

@Phil, sorry, but sounds like you need to relax - at work and at TT.

people that grass are the worst scum in the world.

Can you make that noon? I want to watch and that is a little early. Thanks.

My boss is worse than your boss.

My boss is the best boss in the world, and I really love working for this company.

Eurovol - I think dawn is the traditional time for these little things. I watched The Duellists a couple of weeks ago and they always did it first thing.

That said, I am pretty sure that the challengee gets to decide on the weapon. So it could be sabres, cutlasses, rapiers, or the aforementioned pistols. I suppose it could even be weisswurst or hoagies - I hat a bratwurst last week that could have sunk half the English fleet...

@Phil99

Let's take a positive spin on this. You obviously said that the boss was a "cock" (most bosses are) on some issue etc and now he has found out - well maybe it is a good thing that he is aware of his failings and will make an effort to sort. Unless it was just a generalised "this guy is a knob" kinda posting. It may well be that you had a legitimate point to make, and he knows it!

It's kinda like having an anonymous suggestions thread.

When I was a boss I used to take staff out individually once a year for what became nicknamed the "Call me a **** lunch". I paid for lunch and they could criticise and moan off the record with no repercussions etc. In reality they never actually did let loose - but they had their chance!!!

@Phil- I'm going to agree with the crowd that what you did was at best illadvised, but I do have some sympathy for you here. As much as you shouldn't have posted about your boss, what the other person did was much worse. Just my opinion on the matter.

Get a new name, maybe use your 'friend' at work's name, you know, the one who grassed you up. Then get on here, call your boss all of the c*nts under the sun, maybe placing something there which questions his sexuality, and possibly something libellous, then grass on your mate to your boss...

ahhh I dont think what you did was wrong at all, I mean I vent on here all the time (as do many of you!)...but its true you should have known that you could get caught. What really sucks is that someone ratted you out! I mean really, thats a pretty shitty thing to do.

You cannot say that a syptom is worse than the action. For the guy to grass on Phil99 he needed to feck up and he did. If you don't like someone then your not going to help them.

Just be careful when your peeing on your own doorstep!

@phill 99 why don't you just name names? If the person on TT had enough balls to out you, why not out them... I would like to know who can't be trusted.

P, sorry this has happened but also really .

There is an ability to put 2 and 2 together so we do need to be careful what we post in way of personal information.

A lot of people on here know each other offline as well, some of us even know each other offline in Munich before this interweb was ever invented. SO TT is / part of / extension of / a community of some kind.

Makes you question what kind of community it is when someone deliberately "grasses" someone else up.

If you fancy a moan and a pint this week mate, let us now.

Maybe your post about your boss with his/her real name got indexed by google and just happend the boss or someone that knows him/her googled the name and your post came up.

@phil99


If you know "who did it" why don't you just settle it with that person privately? Thanks for the warning, it's a big pity to hear that TT'ers are ratting on each other. That is rock bottom behaviour.

No he's not, cos my boss is the bestest and I work for the bestest company in the world, I wouldn't want to work anywhere else...

Noob!

Yeah, well. My boss could beat up your boss, cause he is dead hard. I do wonder if he knows that he looks very similar to George Clooney too?

I think it's crap that you've been grassed up; it's so underhand. you should definitely confront the person who you think it is. are they on TT and can't you grass them up too?

you used your boss's name? I'd sue you.

can you sue for voicing an opinion on someone? Maybe in the US where people sue their grandmothers.

okay it wasn't clever to post things like that on this public website, but whoever did grass you up is scum. I just hope it is not someone who I know and mistakenly believe to be a good person

was it an opinion or was it "my boss joe at company x is a genuine asshole." We haven't found the original post. And don't forget, you can't just insult people in this country.

OK you win...

If you posted from work, It´s quite possible that it was YOU that ratted yourself out. Did ya? They can see everything you do online.
think about it.
take care,
space

Not that I'm advocating that you lie, but, why didn't you just act surprised and say :

I'm sorry but I've no idea what your talking about, what website are you refering to?

Then you could have acted as though you were insulted, Beleidigung is taken very seriously in Germany.

Anyway, I hope you've learned from it and as for the informer, every dog has his day, he'll/she'll get his/her turn. Meanwhile, if it's not something you would say to someone directly, then don't say it at all.

Hello everybody!

If it was something REALLY bad then there's no reason why you couldn't land up in Court for it - defamation is a serious old business, and since you're clearly identifiable (seeing as people who know you in real life also know your nickname on TTM), you could be found liable. As it is it sounds as though you've gotten away with it.
As for the 'grasser', well, as Granny said, what goes around comes around.
Oh, and hello Granny!

I have a daily Google robot scanning for a variety of different versions of my real name, my forum name(s), companies I work for and people I know. I get a daily report - it's remarkably interesting. Just keeping the reports to myself for a rainy day...

PS it's remarkable how quickly TT forums are indexed by Google - usually I see my own posts coming back within 24 hours...

The EPO runs windows NT and apparently the personel department there keeps a track on peoples web site visits and informs the directors of the people concerned. It is also worth noting that everything you type in windows NT stays in a file that is deleted after a certain perios. Presumably only system administratrs have access to it or can delete it earlier...
Frankly I would'nt even post from a work web address..

Its illegal in Germany for your employers to monitor your activities during work, I believe. So I doubt the above is true.

sorry but from what i see administrators at computer systems often break the law because the system is impossible to Police. lets face it there is very little you can do if you are runing microsoft products.
Oh and incidentally i heard that the EPO is above German law and invoilable in all its actions.
So if you work there ..tough...

In essence, correct. The upside, of course is no tax to pay...

No it's not. But the Betriebsrat/staff has to be informed beforehand.

I believed wrong then.

Even if it were 100% illegal, that wouldn't stop some from doing it.

I guess that applies to another thread going right now as well...

Just set up a remote connection to your homePC and browse the web on that. Very much doubt they'll be tracking anything more than simple website addresses - actually, just re-reading your post, you mention that its the personnel dept - I know for an absolute fact that the overwhelming majority of people in HR have actually got less of a clue about computers than the frightful "I go to the gym" twats in Sales. Get a dyndns account if your home IP address is not static, and Robert's your fathers brother.
