Asked to login at desk of colleague
Posted: April 16th, 2017, 6:28 pm
I'm a new starter in a quant dev role. During this period, before my computer is set up, I am being asked to occupy the workstation
of a senior colleague for large parts of the day, using his login credentials, while he works elsewhere.
I don't like this arrangement at all. For example, by force of habit, I'm used to having my own workspace. It seems very likely that,
while deep in concentration, my reflexes might kick in and I might instinctively open an email that appears while I'm working and thus
end up reading someone else's confidential email. I don't want this to happen.
I also don't agree that this procedure is essential to the business.
Is this arrangement normal? I've never heard of it before. Any advice? Thanks.
