Why not just go to the IRS and request a Taxpayer ID number? They will give you one that you can then give to your employer. Your employer can use THAT number to submit tax payments on your behlaf and never has to know your SSN. Reserve your SSN for companies you need credit from or when you're actually dealing with the Social Security Administration.

When I said that I cannot install a monitor at their desk, I meant a SECOND monitor just for the console. That would be just too "in your face." Also, by piping it through the laptop (using a capture card, etc.) my hope was to be able to prove that the consoles are not being abused.
Our management is great. And, our developers are hard workers. It's the rest of the departments out there that I worry about.
