wireless network doesn't matter either.

if you're friends with the boss, that's a different story (though I'm sure he'd rather you work during your paid time than goof off on the CM

)

But just for the record, they could check if they wanted to. :heythere:

i really don't think workplaces ever really check cause every job i've had where i've been on a computer all day always said we weren't allowed to go on the internet and messaging services but thats pretty much all i did all day

I think they realize that people will do it, but they could use it if they wanted to look at work productivity.

My boss and our network support guys all use MSN at work, so they really can't stop us using it. I mostly talk to my friend who sits opposite me to moan about our boss and her constant hypocrisy, or my best friend who sits the other side of the office to exhange gossip and ask for help!

I don't think I've ever posted on the CM during normal working hours though. In the middle of the night and at weekends I definitely have.

When I started work our internet access was totally blocked apart from a few sites like the BBC news and weather and places like multimap.

They've started blocking websites at work for us, too.

Which makes sense, because there were some people who would stand at their teller wicket surfing the web. lol

I never did that, though.

I've worked for a lot of big companies... they all have monitoring programs, but each company monitors at different levels. Most of the businesses I've worked at have software to mine all the chat transcripts and all webpages visited. If key words pop up, you are flagged, and someone then manually goes thru your records, transcripts, web history. Software also logs the % of time spent on various sites (work intranet, versus internet, what types of sites, other network activity, non-network computer activity).

It's expected that employees will spend a 'reasonable' amount of time per day on personal sites (check the news, online banking, etc). But there are pre-set %s and you are flagged if it goes above that. There's very minimal chance of being fired unless what you're doing relates to porn, questionable sites, etc. But if you're ever looking for a raise or promotion, these stats that have been tracked will impact you.

In my current job, we were also told that, on top of web and network tracking, they are taking a "video-type record" of what I see on the screen at all times... meaning every single thing I see can be seen by someone else. So I couldn't even type my CM Anniversary letter at work one day when I was thinking about it.

Woah - long post. Sorry!
