The tone of the post and the comments make it seem pretty negative. I’m more wondering why it’s a bad thing I guess.

    I don’t understand. Explain why this bad, it’s a genuine question.

    I won't engage in a conversation with an EE (ECE) who walks around privacy@ and yet spouts such a disingenuous inquiry. A guy who has experience in the workforce shouldn't need a wake-up call about bad corporate practices. At least in theory.

    Wow, I feel like I was pervy glassed since I've written the text above. You never know when the person next to you is a plain hacker or even an NSA asset lol. And dumb questions can sometimes be social engineering.
