i someone is at a desk. you have to watch them.
there will be some funny business going on.
my friend is an it manager and they have this software that shows all the users activity.

this dude got in trouble and they watched him delete his emails and try to cover his tracks.  it was funny.  they were deleted to HIM, but not for IT.
they track when they're idle, what programs are open, what emails they send and receive.  it's kinda scarey.... if you're the type to screw off.

at my job as an electronics tech we had an engineer who would sit by himself and he would test controllers.  when the bosses would go to lunch, he would sleep.  then he would wake up and restart the computer over and over again.
he was stupid and didn't realize my desk was right behind his.

he was trying to break the computer by restarting it. either hardware, the OS or both, he was trying.   i then asked him if someone was wrong with that computer and he jumped and got scared and said no.

he stopped doing it.  later on i helpd out in another department and came back and that computer was dead and they said they could no longer use that test fixture to check controllers.  i told my boss but there was no way to prove it unless they would have had a camera on him all day.
