got a warning email from my boss today for "spending too much time on the net".. I didnt really give a fuck because i get my shit done and it's the only thing keeping my ass sane in the place..

apparently one of my co-workers also snitched and thinks im looking at porn because i have a habit of alt-tabbing between work tasks because the job is boring as fuck

that being said, should i keep surfing (mainly sufu, ebay, random blogs, and news)

and fight the power (chuck D style)

or conform and make sure the paychecks keep coming

since your job is so boring why dont you look for another?

If i got a warning like that i would cut down.

just started looking for one, this job was bearable since i dicked around on the net alot, and got random errands out the way (shopping, bills, blah blah)

i think im gonna go to work tommorow find this thread and copy + paste parts of the email for shits and giggles.. lets hope i dont get caught :(

the wording was something like "if you want to continue working here"

anyone been fired for net usage?

heres an excerpt from the email

I've been advised on numerous occasions (and seen myself) that you are constantly surfing the internet. In fact, ____ asked me a while ago if you were going on sites that you shouldn't be going on because everytime he walks by you, you minimize the screens that you are looking at rather rapidly. If you wish to continue working here, please stop all internet surfing unless you are on your lunch break.

You have signed a document stating that you will use the internet for work purposes only and while we recognize the need to sometimes surf for personal reasons, this must be kept to a minimum especially when your job is as important as it is.

^^ they just want him to look busy all the time, even if he is caught up on his work, they prob feel that he could be working on something else. Like most buisiness' they feel like they own you and you had better work every goddamn minute that you"re there.

i work at a major canadian bank

lending admin. support (read: bitch work) to unappreciative loan underwriters

honestly, if you're getting work done, there should be no problems whatsoever.

however, if you did sign something that said your internet usage would be strictly for work, you should probably cut back.
