I would unplug them to avoid creating air pollution.



Which would save HR doing it and sending a memo about health and safety and asthma can kill due to these, possible.... Yeah, that is exactly how that would play out in many companies. At least in the UK.


Dorothy would give you a hard stare.

And defund your project.


Dorothy doesn't have to see you do it. Do it earlier in the morning or later in the evening, or during lunch.

Which, incidentally, is how Dorothy the corporate spy might have installed the device without anybody noticing her be the one to do it.


So, unplug the device and leave it on Alice's Desk. if Dorothy gives you a hard stare, then you know she must have had access to the video feed in the plug-in, and so is the corporate spy.

But if Dorothy instead gives Alice a hard stare, Dorothy is innocent. But if you return that morning to find the device plugged back in, Alice must be the spy.

Unless Bob from HR got in early that morning ...


No, no, no, Alice and Bob are just trying to talk. Eve is the spy.


For those who might be confused: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_and_Bob


Hey, Eve is my main squeeze. I gave her an Apple.
