Sickening posted:Welp, turns out that Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.  This is exactly what I was hoping for, there has got to be fighting going on behind the scenes between the C-levels. I feel like there is a small but significant chance you get promoted to CISO, and a higher chance that she gets the boot and someone new gets brought in. Seriously, when a manager doesn't have the authority to fire someone you know there is something going on behind the scenes.

The CISO is going to be gone by the end of the day and I wouldn't be surprised if Sickening got the job.

there's a few legitimate concerns buried in the wall of stimulant abuse there. In particular, filevault, security group membership (she's not asking for what she actually wants, which is an explanation of how access differs between Mac and PC endpoints). the iCloud issue in particular is a genuine concern, and I agree with her that politely asking users not to use personal accounts is insufficient. that's about it honestly. I'd answer those and politely inquire if she is smelling burnt toast for the rest.

Desktop teams get poo poo on an awful lot but having sane policies in place and using the tools that Apple and Microsoft provide rather than fighting the OS by slapping some poo poo over the top of the OS go such a long way to making people's machines usable.

When my current place talks about MDM, they are also referring to when they managed corp iOS devices by logging them all in with the same Apple ID. Apparently they stopped doing that when someone accidentally uploaded nudes to iCloud. How nudes made their way onto a corp iOS device, I'll never know. There's so much dumb poo poo out there. It really is amazing that anything gets done or ever goes right.

Sickening already has his out from the CEO, but The Iron Rose has some great advice here. If someone sends you poo poo that makes no drat sense, decide what you wish it meant, and reply as if it meant that. Even if you guess wrong, it gives you a chance to seize control of the agenda and make it what you want it.

Of course tidbits of this madness are valid, but you have to also remember that outside of oncboarding a device to Intune, I am not the author of any written policy. The author of the sections she is talking about there... is actually her! It happens all the time.

The first part of my talk with the CEO is actually incredibly boring. He is apologizing about the events of this morning. Telling me that this is somewhat his fault because he might have communicated the lack of progress on certain projects and she drastically took that as a reason to push blame onto others. He told me that all firings have to go through him first and lead council for obvious reasons and none of that have been followed. He thanked me for my efforts so far and said he has heard nothing but positive things about me from others. He stated that this obvious puts me under a lot of strain and makes the relationship between me and my boss near impossible as he would have said "I would have told our company to go kick rocks." He gave me tips on conflict resolution and how to keep as much documented in email and teams as its an auditable record. He stressed following up on verbal conversations with written summaries of what you talked about afterwards so that she doesn't get to hide what is talked about over verbal conversation. Again, boring poo poo that I already knew and had been applying to some degree. Towards the end he asked me about what I meant when I said she kept odd hours. I stated that she only had a lot of time for me after hours and would email and message me at all hours of the night. I also stated she was gone full days at a time without any communication with me. I said "I understand that c-suite executives are busy and that her time at our company takes up some time as well as any other commitments to other companies she might have." My ceo: Wait, what other companies? I mentioned her boards she always talks about (local highschools and colleges, etc, she has like 5 of them) which he stated he knew. I mentioned concert gigs she told me she did, he didn't know but didn't seem to care much about. I also mentioned "And the company she founded, she sometimes gets asked questions in the background about it her home office". My ceo: You mean company xxx? Yes, I think that is the one. My ceo: She isn't suppose to be involved with them anymore. How would you know about them? Umm, she still works out of that office space for her personal home office and its on the address of devices we have sent her. and ummm.. i think she has emailed me from that address a few times. My ceo: She still has an email address with that company?!?!?! Umm, yeah... she sent me a regular email from them by mistake. I didn't think anything of it. Want me to get you the email log? My ceo: Please. Umm. here you go. It appears she has been accidentaly emailing others in our org from that email, as well as forwarding email from herself to that email and vice versa. My ceo: This is all news to me, its were part of her contract that she is to cease all business and ownership of that company. I need to end the call now to make some calls. My crazy loving CISO went from Green status, to on a call, to offline. Her account is not locked. I am on the other hand going to have a great loving weekend and vacation week. I have alerted the service desk guy to alert me if any poo poo goes down. And no, sickening isn't going to get promoted you weirdos. Fantasy land: she steps down or gets fired. Real life scenario: she gets put on an island by herself to make my life miserable from afar. Paycheck status: Giggly
