Simple questions will make your newfound friend anxious to tell you more about what he does in the computer world. What is better is that often these conversations will evolve on their own into some more in-depth discussions that will reveal to you more details about what the purpose of the IT group is and its relationship with the employee and their activity on your work computers.

The previous questions can also lead to a hypothetical question such as:

I was in another department speaking with someone about a project we were working on and I overheard this guy in the next cubicle over talking on the phone to someone who just bought this guy's homemade blueberry muffins online. That has nothing to do with his job, but he is using company resources to do it. How the heck does this guy get away with doing that?

His response will drive much of what you are able to do at your own workstation. If the response ends up sounding something like: “We monitor everyone's Internet activity, and if the user surpasses 25 percent of personal time on the Internet, he will be flagged and dismissed from his responsibilities.” If you get a response like that, then you know that you have some actionable evidence about how to manage your time online in relationship to trading.

You may also be surprised by what he says if he responds with something like:

We really do not monitor what people do. We'll check for spikes in bandwidth relative to other users or average usage in general, but unless we have suspicion we are not going to dive into the personal usage of an employee on the Internet. We just do not have the resources to do that.

If that is the case, you now know that as long as you keep your trading private and your performance on the job where you continue meeting expectations, you will be good to go.
