Work ethics - morale - Legalese: how to handle?
I am these days confronted with a dillema, and would like your opinion and advice.
Even if you have no advice, i would like your Opinion.
Because i am kind of lost, and am wondering if i "think" too much.
Situation:
Finished my IT apprenticeship in August. Started working for a Company on Dec. 3
Level:
Low. On Craftsmans level, where the Screwdriver and the Phone, assisting via TeamViewer and the Windows Install CD plays a role.
Current Job:
Assist Users, Diagnose Hardware and Software Problems. Fix them. document what i do.
Dilemma:
In 3 weeks i have seen more Cracked Windowses than in the previous 4 years of my Apprenticeship.
"unattended by Maddog"
windowses that have been cleverly put together, featuring Data from XP, Vista, Win7, and their respective Server variants.
No Official Software. And therefor no licence.
"Licence Mismatch"
Where an OEM PC has a Vista Licence, but the User claims to be legitime Win7 owner. Yet, can not provide a Licence document.
The Big question is/are:
How do you react - as a Professional - when you see that the software is illegal,
- and the User has a Virus and needs some sort of software help on his cracked machine
- wants you to reinstall his machine using the same shady software/ a crack
- wants you to extract his Data, so he can ask a friend to reinstall his cracked Windows
What does your Gut say in these situations? What does your Brain say?
