That thought process works in a large organization, but not in a
small one. A very small company just works differently. There are no
handbooks (I once worked for a company for two years before they put
out an employee handbook, and it focused on benefits), there are no
policies, there is a handful of people trying to get the job done.
Each person manages their own computers if they're technically able.
Action such as "let me look at your computer" are taken personally,
and are very damaging to morale. You may as well fire him after you
demand to look at the computer, it will end there in the long run.
You've gotten some good ideas, best of luck!
