VNC does support 'reverse shells'. Look in the manual for your
particular version.

You would need to open one or more ports on your company's firewall, but
that isn't too big a problem, is it? Just tunnel it over something
reasonably safe, and tell the helpdesk not to use 'priviliged' machines
for incoming calls...
