37% of Netflix Subscribers Say They Binge-Watch While at Work (netflix.com)
On-demand video streaming service Netflix has found that more people than ever are watching video outside their homes. About 67% of people now watch movies and TV shows in public, according to an online survey it commissioned of 37,000 adults around the world. The survey also found that about 37% of Netflix's US subscribers binge-watch shows and movies while at work.
Sounds like a whole lot of IT departments need to mind their own business. They are not there to police other employees but to ensure service stability.
This is a management issue or employee issue, not an IT issue.
"Your assuming that watching or listening to Netflix in the background is a problem in the first place."
You're supposed to be working, period. If you're WATCHING something other than your job and you are not on your legally-required break periods, you aren't doing your fucking job.
"You have a very limited view of what IT does, I hope you don't work in it."
Meanwhile, you aren't competent enough to work IT period with your current mindset.
Um, no... Some people have a job which requires doing very little a lot of the time with periods of activity. For example, Fire Fighters aren't actively working 100% of the time that they are on the job.
Yes, I'm sure that a percentage of the binge watchers are simply slacking but you can't paint them all with the same brush unless you know what the actual job is.
Nope. I don't care if you're watching Netflix, listening to Pandora, or whatever as long as you aren't annoying the people around you and are getting your work done.
