If I hadn't given up swearin...Those freaking jerks. If I hadn't given up swearing just this afternoon, I would have worse things to say. Do you suppose they have spyware on everyone's machine? Well, I hope they enjoyed my little forays into cyberspace. <BR/><BR/>It's amazing to me the new lows in morale they have created, and continue to create, in that place. So much for my efforts to instill a little "TASC spirit".

You are being much more philosophical about it than I would be. The temptation to go online at the office, even when the warnings are there, is sometimes tough especially when trying to fight boredom. I tried refraining from doing anything too incriminating on my last job, though towards the end when I had my suspicions about how it was all going to end, I was less concerned. As you say, it's certainly an employer's perogative. But just as employers are concerned about their employees' productivity, I often question if whatever sort of benefit they get out of monitoring online activity at the office is worth the investment of time it takes to actually have someone policing this sort of thing. One wonders why, for example, it might take an IT personnel a week to around to fixing a technical problem that would allow a person to better function at their job, even though they seem to have time to scrutinize the details of what that person has been Googling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
