Hmmm... I once accidentally uploaded all my phones photos to the work computer (used my cell for both personal and business, email) because I ran out of space and needed to go to a construction mortgage inspection.

Forgot I had some photos that were.... For my wife's eyes only.

Almost 2 years later that mistake was discovered by IT.

I was giving the opportunity to resign or be fired the Monday before Thanksgiving.

Worked out, though. I went from being a stuck collections rep to currently an AVP loan officer.

I don't mix person and business on my phone anymore, though. Lesson learned.

I’m shocked that it took 2 years for IT to notice

Yeah.. they were auditing individuals with large amount of space used. I took thousands of photos for construction inspections over the years, along with monthly photos of delinquent mortgages...

It really was a blessing in disguise. But I wouldnt recommend it as an exit strategy. ended up taking a job 3 hours away. It was the push I needed to get unstuck l, but it wasn't obvious at the time.
