First off, if the janitor was watching cp on a government computer, why did they have creds to the network? Doesn't make sense why the janitor would need computer resources.
If you ran a company larger than five or six people, how would you communicate with said janitors? How would they check on work requests, checklists, have staff contact them when there is a spill or a waste basket full, how do they get HR updates, company news, etc. Might sound silly, but computers today in most organizations aren't for "doing office work", they are simply the mechanism for all communications. Payroll, HR, legal, healthcare, hours tracking, internal communications... all computer.
If I hired a janitor for NTG, we'd definitely need them to have a computer. We'd not want to have to have paper or some other legacy process for communicating with just that one person. If we had notifications that we needed to get out to everyone, or a calendar to share, or whatever, a Chromebook would cost us $180 for something that would do the job well. Going to paper would cost us far more for that one person.

@scottalanmiller and I'm sure that the way NTG is run perfectly mirrors the way government offices are run, right?

Government would definitely use computers for janitors. They need to get notifications from the feds that aren't in the building.

Like most things in social media, this seems to work the opposite for me. I've never gotten upset and walked away from social media. But platforms like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn I just find insanely boring and don't draw me in at all. I keep them all for when I need them for something, but I never look at them and feel like "looking at them more."
The same with the ads, I find that none of these manage to show me ads of the slightest interest to me. It's as if their algorithms can't even begin to figure me out and just do totally random things.

That's a first step, but it's the post office they really need to crack down on. Bunch of incompetent thieves at the USPS. I've had WAY fewer issues with UPS or FedEx.

yeah, I'm not seeing an issue here. Seems like a good thing. Less shrinkage means better pricing.

Except, that is Scott's made up headline to get you to click it.
