I don't think "Win-Win" means what you think it means. At best for him, no harm is done. At worst, he gets a reprimand or gets in trouble. I happen to be an employee (not a boss), who is not expressly permitted to use company time on private projects. As it turns out, though, my job is right now requiring me to do some research about gnupg. (Just a scenario you left out) And, all that is completely irrelevant. Contacting his coworkers for help will make extra work for several people, removing his auto-reminder (probably a helpdesk ticket, etc.). OR, the moderators can just click "remove" next to his name and send an email informing him of the situation on his return. 5 minutes, which is about what anybody would spend explaining the situation to the his coworkers to effect a solution that, at best, is "No harm done".
