Pornographic Spam And The Workplace
dolo666 writes "The BBC posted an article about how UK legal experts are warning businesses to take a more active role in the prevention of pornographic spam. If you get an explicit email, how exactly do you show it to your boss, without looking guilty yourself?"
A good first measure, especially if you are the guilty party, is to sign your boss up for lots of porn mailing lists.
Then, he/she will know it's perfectly normal to get up to 10 penis enlargement spams a day, and it has nothing to do with the way you surf the internet.
It's a joke, laugh.
What a dork... I just truncated my own post...
That should also read:
We very clearly outline net useage and who's responsible for what in our employee handbook.
That way the responsibility goes both ways.
Yeah? Well I got to work 30 minutes late today because there was an accident. It had been moved well off the road so there wasn't any reason for a slowdown in traffic. Except, of course, the fact that every little shithead had to gawk at other people's misery. *That* is what really bugs me.
I know it's a joke...
But you should tell Sally about Traffic Waves. It's not about gawking, mostly.
About a year ago I had a nasty surprise. I cleaned out my mailbox. Once finished, I got up to get a drink. When I came back, there was a picture on the preview pane of a woman who was... involved... with a horse. Since my mailbox was clear, it displayed the first message that came up. That bothered the hell out of me. I doubt that any of the women in the office would have assumed it was porn spam if they had walked by at that moment.
Ugh. Yeah you gotta be careful. Even though I doubt I would have lost my job over it (I work with understanding people), the thought of disturbing one of my coworkers really bothers me.
"Derp de derp."
