Sorry to hear that.

FWIW, there are machines and networks here where I'd fire staff on the spot for setting up unauthorized remote access to. There are a few machines I've been responsible for where I'd be calling the police instead of HR.

It's easy for most of us to do this. That doesn't mean it's a good idea. If you're doing this on someone else's machines or network, be 100% sure you've got permission (if it's a work machine - even if that means just setting your work desktop machine up to VPN into your own home network - get that permission in writing...)
