AlexM Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Considering how much you seem to enjoy your new job, I'd only consider coming on here in your breaks. Wait until you're invaluable, then consider having the odd daytime peek if you must . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 All companies state that, it depends if they activily review the data. No the more cynical out there might say that they will let you get away with it, then when they want to let you go use it against you.. . but that's just crazy.

MrRalphMan Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 So its ok to go on other website's whilst at work?? Well I would say that if the company like mine says 'Only for business use' then no. Luckly they seem to be sane, or maybe too large to car about a little (little my A&^%) personal browsing. But at Natwest they had a clamp down and came round with print outs of our activities... Was interesting for the shift joker who's main role was to try and get round the web censoring and find pictures of women's privates.

ivan Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Why are you asking us instead of your Audi bosses? You're more likely to get a sensible answer out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 You take your car to a garage, the mechanic spends 6 hours on mkivsupra.net, 2 hours fixing your car and charges you 8 hours labour. You take your car to a garage, the mechanic spends 2 hours on your car, 15 mins on mkivsupra.net and charges you 2hrs 15mins labour. Would you be upset with the latter? I Wouldn't and i doubt your bosses would. We have t'internet in the work and its monitored. We are allowed to use it for personal use but we have to be sensible. A few guys have went through disciplinary action for overusing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be upset with the latter? I Wouldn't and i doubt your bosses would... You're damn right I would. I'm not paying for some lazy ar$e mechanic to browse the internet. He can do that in his own time or let his boss carry the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexsum Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 i only want to pay for what i owe too. as for whether it is wrong to use internet for personal stuff when at work; it is not illegal if that's the question. it may be a breach of your contract of employment which would mean discipline->sacking. most bosses are ok to a point, the point being as long as it does not interfere with your output. many bosses ban from a set list such as ebay/msn messenger etc. but to be safe run it by the manager. remember bigger company computers can be and will be monitored so no dodgy/banks/personal info sites. answer to all this is: be self-employed! the boss lets you away with all kinds of s#!t.
