Wedding Planning Sites - NOT unethical

From: Chilly8 on 16 Jan 2008 03:51 X-No-Archive: Yes I did turn one of my proxies back on for a few minutes to see what people are using my proxy for, when surfing from work, and I did see someone from Australia surfing various kinds of wedding-related sites. Any employer that would ban sites for planning a WEDDING is NUTS. There is NOTHING unethical about using the company networks to surf wedding-related sites for planning a wedding. One's wedding day is a very SPECIAL day, and I feel that the corporate network that was obviously banning wedding sites needs to RETHINK their usage policies. There is NOTHING wrong OR unethical about suring wedding-related sites from work. I am glad to know that I was helping someone plan their wedding day without the boss knowing what they were doing. They will see a lot of connections to my proxy, but that person's boss, in Australia, will NEVER KNOW that employee was surfing wedding sites form work, and I feel good knowing that I was helping someone be able to plan their special day, from work, without the boss being able to know what he/she was up to.

A company network is for COMPANY BUSINESS, NOT PERSONAL BUSINESS. -- Leythos - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" spam999free(a)rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address)

A wedding is a verry SPECIAL occasion, and I see NOTHING wrong with surfing wedding-related sites from work, as long as you get your work done.

What part of that are you having trouble with? I'd love to see you actually own a company and have your staff doing what you suggest instead of what you are paying them for. How quickly would you change your tune? Jason

Well, I don't care what people do on my proxy, as long as its lawful in France and Mexico, where the main server, and backup servers are, respectfively. If some "office drone" wants to surf wedding sites through my proxy, they are more then welcome to do so. |
