Well, mine was just silly and did not involve games or using unauthorized CPU time. I was just doing my normal code development job and running PL/I compiles, links, and tests. The systems I normally used restricted the jobnames to userid + a character. Then one of the systems I was working on allowed the jobname to be whatever I wanted. So I took one of my ordinary jobs that didn't use any more time or resources than normal, and "just for fun" I gave it a jobname of "COREHOGG".
OMG!! When I submitted that my phone immediately blew up with people yelling at me about what did I think I was doing? Not the operators. They could see what it was. But other users who just reacted to the name COREHOGG without knowing anything else about the job. So I learned not to give jobnames "just for fun". :) --Roger On Tue, Jan 18, 2022 at 3:41 PM Robert Prins <[email protected]> wrote: > OK, it's not the silly season, but have you ever used your employers > equipment to do something silly?
