how would you say this?

[stilleto]

we use "gotomypc" at work. or in work. whatev.

When i asked for an account, the office manager asked the IT guy's assistant to set it up for me and now I can access my work computer from home.

so once i got to work and something looked different than how i had left it, i thought.
then yesterday the assistant (who is also in sales) said that he was logged into my computer over the weekend, at 3am on sunday, because he needed something from the server and knew my password, so he used my account/computer.

well i don't like that. I leave work up and don't want anyone messing with it, or restarting my computer, or reading my email, etc.
Tonight I changed my password.

I know it won't be long before he tries to log in again (he doesn't do anything all day and often stays in the office overnight or logs during the night but we don't know why) and won't be able to. he's going to ask if i changed my password.

how would you say it? "I didn't like you logging in to my computer"?
or should I just say, "oh, you should get your own account. it's not going to work if you have to use mine."

or "i'm sorry, i'm really into privacy."

I would just be honest, explain as politely as possible why it bothers you and ask him if he wouldn't getting his own log in/password.

Yep, ditto!

i was going to be honest, but I don't know the right way to say it without sounding like I distrust him.

i'm not sure if i do trust him, but even if i totally did, it's not good to have other people use it. i'm management level. he isn't.

(btw, this is the guy i saw on the toilet).

i think i'll just say, "i changed my password. you should get your own account though- then you won't have to use mine" and leave it at that..

Tell him if he does it again, you'll slice off his cockles....

Maybe, it's not a bad idea for him to know he's not trust worthy.

Regardless of trust issues - a saleperson should NOT have access to management files.

So no matter the details - removing his access is the right thing.

Thats unacceptable. That shit would never fly at my work.

I think he totally lied to you too. There's no reason he would need to be on your computer at that time. I think he probably got some sensitive information off your computer. Check and see if you can see what exactly he looked at.

Bring it up to the head of IT ASAP

yeah, his sales teammates immediately said, "CHANGE YOUR PW" the minute he left the room.
i probably wouldn't care if i really thought he just needed something once, but he's gone on once that he told me about, once that I suspect, and who knows when else. in the middle of the night.
and he doesn't seem to actually DO any work.
i'll tell him.
thanks.

why does he know your PW? thats a security issue (it is at least where I work)
Id just say, hey we arent supposed to shared passwords, and change yours

Tell him you are an executive mod
He'll then proceed to sauce his pants and spill his guts about looking for nudes of your dogs.
