Let’s be frank. The boss probably does not even know what a log is, let alone that people can pull it.
One of the more important lessons learned from a career in and around IT: no one holds a grudge like senior, non manager IT staff. And they turn up in the strangest meetings/locations. Hence the warning of “be careful”.
Let’s be real, IT talks, we are curious, but we don’t really care too much. Depending on who asks, yep the logs are there and it only takes a few clicks or a quick one-liner to get them, most people won’t ask for them though.
The sheer number of ‘hey, check out what so and so is up to’ that come through our chats is insane, I’ve seen so many students in schools setting up proxies or hiding games in normal looking websites… It’s honestly pretty cool the commitment some people have for not doing what they should.
The odds of your boss asking IT to pull the logs to see if you ever had access to a document is unlikely
