Today's reminder of the insider threat involves a pharmacist in Maryland who over a period of 8 years or more, used keyloggers and installed spyware on about 400 computers at the University of Maryland Medical System so he could spy on female co-workers in private moments at work (such as changing clothes, breastfeeding their babies), and in their homes. He was reportedly fired in October 2024, and was able to get another job in another healthcare facility in Maryland because there has been no criminal charges filed against him yet and UMMS apparently didn't alert his new employer.

If Maryland law is like my state's laws, the hospital may be barred legally from revealing what happened if asked for a recommendation by the new employer. And it seems the Maryland state pharmacy board can't just suspend a license unless there's been a conviction, so the failure to have criminal charges filed already seems to have put more potential victims at risk.

Unsurprisingly, a potential class action lawsuit has already been filed against UMMS with six plaintiffs so far. There are estimates that there are more than 80 victims of the now-former employee.

"There are anger management classes, but not stupidity management classes.

It seems unfair, because at least 90% of my anger comes from dealing with stupidity."

My entire life I have never dealt with passive aggressiveness well. I have always handled it wrongly and it's backfired on me.

My job never ever has this.
The place I volunteer with is all about it.

Any advice on how to handle passive aggressive people?

"Professor David Yamada is an internationally recognized authority on workplace bullying. He is a professor of law and the director of the New Workplace Institute at Suffolk University Law School in Boston. It is the primary drafter of model workplace anti-bullying legislation known as the Healthy Workplace Bill, which is serving as a template for law reform efforts in the U.S. He also is the founding board chairperson of the International Society for Therapeutic Jurisprudence, which promotes the application and design of laws, legal procedures, and legal institutions that support psychological health and well-being. Professor Yamada identifies former President Donald Trump as being a classic workplace bully, constantly resorting to ridicule, name-calling, and cruel putdowns in his public and private behavior. These actions are consistent with some of the worst types of workplace bullying. Drawing from the DSM-V, Trump’s behaviors are often called “cluster B” traits or behaviors. Cluster B includes narcissism, sociopathy, emotional dysregulation, impulsivity & attention-seeking."—The Influence Continuum

Since I am in Rome for a couple of days, I decided to come to work at the Library of the Senate of the Italian Republic this fine morning.

The library staff is not friendly at all, but the place is crazy.

I was asked what kind of laptop this is, and of course I proudly replied: “it’s a @frameworkcomputer, you should get one ”

Axios survey of AI adoption suggests AI is causing power struggles between leaders and workers. Half of executives saying that AI is "tearing their company apart".

Less than half (45%) of employees — versus 75% of the C-suite — think their company's AI rollout in the last 12 months has been successful.

Only 57% of employees say that their company even has an AI strategy — but 89% of the C-suite believes they do.
