QUICK TIPS: PRIVACY ISSUES
Turn your computer so that it does not face your office door. Turn your monitor to an angle or turn your desk so that only the back or the side of your computer can be seen from your office door. Remember, when you are working under The Black Factor you are usually being watched! Besides, if you work with confidential information, people tend to walk a bit slower and stare a bit longer when they can see your computer screen. I’ve worked on budgets that required me to input salary information for all levels of staff, so trust me on this one—turn your screen around. Turning your screen around also stops people from noticing when you’re playing solitaire on your computer. You know, on your lunch break! If you wear glasses, remember that your screen can be seen as a reflection on your lenses, so look away from your computer when someone is in your office.

I also want to remind people that the companies have the ability to monitor your computer. The IT people can and will read emails - so, if you want to communicate with another co-worker etc., use code names. All people use email for personal reasons but YOU will be singled out when needed.
yes. they use trackign software all the time. they monitor everything. if you don't want it known, don't write it at work. Whites can shop and surf the net and not have anyone step to them but that doesn't mean we can do it.
