In the FZ6 forum while at work

[reiobard]

No way! Dangerous waters at work... you surf, you die!

Seriously, it only took a V.P.'s approval to get my internet access, and I have to sign papers at training every year saying it is for work use only, so I'll just check this forum from home. Oh yeah, and checking at lunch, while working weekends, or while working out of town, etc., still have the same limits. Of course, my hard drive is also scanned regularly to ensure I don't have any personal files or, GASP!!, personal pictures on it.

A friend got a hand slap for sending an email to his wife (also works for the company, but across the plant), asking her to pick up some milk on the way home.... as that was a non work related email.

BTW: this is the same place that just allowed me to start riding the motorcycle into the plant, but SOME of the rules are:
1. Must ride directly from the gate to & from the control building.
2. Can not touch the bike during the day, even to go out at lunch.
3. Can not stop at other offices within the plant, even if they are on the way to your office.
The silly thing is that I still need to go to other buildings during the day, so I had my boss buy me a bicycle for use in the plant....

Needless to say, I work for a very large, very very conservative, somewhat paranoid company.

holy crap... put that place on the 100 worst places to work in the USA.... Big Brother much???



















But i guess it IS work none the less, and that is better than a lot of people these days.

I don't have a job anymore, but I would get on the forum at work. Most of the time when I was waiting for something or during breaks. I wouldn't let it affect my performance.

My boss doesn't care how much I'm on the 'net during work hours. I do analytical work in an engineering lab. Once I get my instruments running, the rest of the day is mine unless something rush comes in.

 

[Have2BeFree]

Guilty - I'm so addicted. I even talk about it at work. They really should try to keep me busier.......

 

[Wolfman]

Bit hard to get on here when i am DJ'ing, but somehow i manage quite a bit! As for when i am doing other work....i see work as a distraction...to whatever else i want to be doing, so.........

:rockon:

 

[Dunny]

I do, I work out of a car and I'm on the laptop non stop. Employer has pretty strict bans on non work approved applications. So far so good.

Shhh gotta go

 

[Got-boost?]

I do a quick on/off look and post thing.

 

[LERecords]

guilty... i brows the forum in between calls... or sometimes durring calls.. depends how dumb the person is on the other end of the line...

 

[pottie]

I felt so lucky got so much freedom here...:rockon:

 

[The Toecutter]

I only get on at work to show a funny or interesting post to my co-workers.I do my forum browsing before work like now and after work on my back porch with a big glass of ice tea or cold beer.

 

[jdesiano1]

Forum, what forum?

 

[RyanK]

I get on it every day at lunchtime. No need to hide it then really.

(I voted "occasionally")

[Bates121]

Absolutely! It's like my little reward between finishing one task and going on to the next .

LOL thats the way I look at it oh crap I have to start another project soon and this one is boring..... cause I'll be on a lot today

 

[opds9091]

When ever i finish with my patients i log on and see what new, so it's open all day and when i come home i log in again

 

[dean2287]

Clearly I am in violation of the "acceptable use policy", but hey, it's not porn...

 

[chimneydoc]

I'm the boss, so I can do it.
