It's not a joke...more like a stupid question. But it seems like there are lots of people who do it. Do employers look the other way, or do they just figure it's a cost of doing business?I don't get it. This is a joke, right?
You gotta quit smoking that corn silk.
Our IT department had software that created reports on web sites accessed from company machines. My job involved market research, and so I wasn't bothered much, but others were.Not much. I do it occasionally, when there is time, but I try not to get caught and never when there is work to do.
I sort of remember my jobs the same way. It seemed that I was never without something that needed doing. That's not to say that I never goofed off or procrastinated, because I certainly did, but I don't recall ever feeling like that I had done everything that needed doing.I must have a different background. I've never had a job in which I was waiting to be needed.
Now that I'm home I can post, I did post during the "Boston Marathon Thread" while at work, I didn't care if the Nazis seen them. I would have just looked at them and said, really?I do it as a mental break. It usually only takes a minute to check on threads I have susbcribed. On a very rare occasion, I'll make a post or two. On the other hand, I don't get out of work on time if I have something important on my plate.
Never been a field service engineer on assignment to a plant or operation or a line maintenance engineer or technician on a production line where your job performance is judged by line equipment uptime not by how many widgets are repaired in a day?I must have a different background. I've never had a job in which I was waiting to be needed.
