Someone who spends too much time on private use is going to be found out. It's very easy for a "5 minute break" to extend itself. It is not difficult to find out what a computer is used for, and for how long. Job security could suffer. Entitlement to breaks is one thing; how they are spent is another. It could be argued that someone who uses a computer for 8 hours a day needs breaks away from the computer. Then it's obvious that it's a break. |

| 475569 | 2006-08-06 20:21:00 | Hey, Which Government departments :D Hubby has just resigned after working for three government departments for over 41 years and although he works on a computer most days there's no private internet access at all. Prisons are locked down tight....... at least for the staff. :rolleyes: |

I wonder if Air NZ will ensure its PCs get locked down a little tighter now? |

| 475571 | 2006-08-07 00:46:00 | Hey, Which Government departments :D Well to be honest I only know of two - Courts and National Library. But of course I acknowledge other people's perspectives (now there's a first!). I guess I was just spoiled when I used to be gainfully employed, where my job was the Internet :D |

I think you will find that the prisoner was sending his prose via snail mail to someone on the outside who posted it on the internet as a blog. |

| 475574 | 2006-08-07 02:46:00 | Does that mean if I think of work issues in my own time, work should pay me :confused: I want the OpenOffice.org version :D That's entirely your prerogative, as it is your employer's prerogative to allow you to use company time for private activity. |
