Judge Rules in Favor of Websurfing at Work
MirrororriM writes "According MSNBC article, a judge has ruled in favor of a worker that was repeatedly warned for surfing the internet on company time. Only a "reprimand" is a fitting punishment - not termination. From the article: 'It should be observed that the Internet has become the modern equivalent of a telephone or a daily newspaper, providing a combination of communication and information that most employees use as frequently in their personal lives as for their work.'"
Nice troll/fantasy about what you would do if anyone with money were foolish to trust you with that kind of power. Bravo!
I too have felt the cold finger of injustice.
The bad news (for office-dwellers): This ruling will push more companies to completely disallow surfing during work hours.
Exactly. If I ran a business, I'd have all port 80 traffic blocked, except for sites directly relevant to the business.
