Ever been caught posting at work?
The IT manager sent me an e-mail and told me to stop surfing on the internet at work. I'm not in trouble but I guess this is a warning.
I guess they monitor this stuff.

1. Yes, but nobody cares.
99% of my coworkers are Democrats. :D

3. Most firms are doing some type of monitoring these days...

...you can count on it.

Everything from simple monitoring of Internet use vs. other uses of their PCs, through e-mail review, to flat-out keystroke logging.

If it's not your PC, you better believe you're being watched. Act accordingly.

4. I once got a bitchy comment from an office-mate
But that was more inspired by her bad mood than anything else.

5. Never been caught because we don't have access to the internet.
We have e-mail to and from our DM and corporate, but that's all.

6. I'm constantly getting caught.
I'll probably be in big trouble soon. :(

But it's their fault. If this job wasn't so damn boring, I wouldn't have to be on DU all the time, getting myself enlightened. :)

8. I have had all out email debates with repukes at work.
using DU to help counter the crap.

I am currently taking a little break from my routine. But I think my days of posting at work are numbered, we getting stricter about such things and it wouldn't be good for the boss to be caught in non work related activities.
Previously we have been fairly liberal, as long as there was not a performance issue.
