Do you post at Apolyton during work hours? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Shouldn't you be working right now? Big brother is there to watch you!

My employer keeps track of every site any employee have visited, and when. They can also read everything we post at forums. Extensive private surfing is not encouraged, and some sites are totally illegal (porn, nazi, mp3 etc). The company does not want the company name or IP number to be connected with political and/or offensive statements. They won't fire anyone, except in extreme cases, but we could be put off-line.

I do some posting during lunch breaks, but never anything controversial. (I save that until I get home)

How is the situation where you work?

Our IT manager is also the QC lab manager. I'm the only one willing to work third shift QC, so it's in his best interests to keep me happy working third shift QC.

Tired of ads?

All right, I admit it!

Most sites are blocked by our IT department. I can't even access e-mail except through the company e-mail. Strangely, there is a guy in IT who is really into Civ and I have never had a problem hitting 'poly.

Sounds like they did not want you in the first place and used this as an excuse to get rid of you.

I dunno - I did my job well except for posting on poly like, twice the whole time I worked there...

I'm glad to be rid of it though - it totally sucked.

I depends on whether or not I've got work to do. If I've got something better to do, then I'll do it. If I'm bored (or taking a break), then I'll surf the internet.

It's never gotten me in trouble. I've had three jobs where I had the ability to surf the internet, and all three were (are) strictly result-driven, so as long as I met my deadlines my bosses didn't care what I did (as long as I didn't do anything too illegal, I s'pose).

We allow people to surf the Web within a reasonable limit. It's just a different form of gathering around the coffee machine thing.

Posting on Poly is my coffee break.

Half my job involves using the Internet to gather data, retrieve photos, graphics, stories, et al., and so on. You'd think I'd stop by 'Poly during said online excursions at work, but I don't. If I did, it'd bring a horde of curious journalists after me (co-workers!).
