I did that for 10 months there because they wouldn't assign me work.

I did that because 2 minute screen lock plus crazy long password requirements made working hell. The alternative was going to be an arduino usb hid device that typed the password when a button was pressed.

Having unrealistic, bad security rules are counterproductive.

I'm a little surprised that I've never seen bluetooth pressure switches in office chairs to lock workstations when the employee stands up.

Because clearly you need more meddling in your workflow for the sake of security theater.

I remember surge strips that had infrared sensors to see if there was someone at the desk. Easy way to power off the old CRT monitors and save energy if away.
