I'm a Microsystems Analyst in a samll hospital. When we began to provide Internet Access to employees, we all signed a short but very fair piece of paper, saying that "Viewing, dowloading, or e-mailing inappropriate material (such as pornography, violent images, offensive language, etc.) is considered grounds for immediate termination of employment."
But exactlly what is considered inappropriate? I mean, I like my porn as much as the next guy. Give me porn or give me death. But, what I consider pornographic may not be what my boss or other co-workers consider to be pornographic. Great care sould be given in deciding what you sould be checking out on the net.
The companies we work for hires us to do specific jobs. They give us tools to do these jobs. They give us Net access to be more productive at these jobs. It is not our jobs to be smutt surfing at work. That's something that you should be doing at at home. This isn't a question about censorship, it's about proper work ethics.
At the end of the day we can all go home and surf for all the smutt we want. And I know that I for one shall do EXACTLY that!
