It really depends on how strict you supervisor's are. I know that as professional as some workplaces are there will always be a few stragglers that will test the limit. Usually these people are complete and utter morons. At my workplace(call centre) some supervisors tell you one thing and certain supervisors another. This works in my advantage because of the total lack of consistency. If i'm being penalised(hehe penal) for doing something like using msn when one supervisor doesn't allow this but another supervisor told me technically as long as no one sees you its alright, than there is NO way in hell that i'm not going to challenge this. If there's a varying of opinion on what practices are acceptable and unacceptable between the fellas that are in charge than it leaves everything wide open. Tsk Tsk...meh good old fashioned work ethic.
