I know a lot of popel do this, but is this justified, is this morally wrong or right?

It’svery very morally justified and you cant just be working for the whole 8hrs, that’s why we have tinyurl, facebook and twitter etc, so that you can take your mind away from work issues when your manager is not looking, if not we can all just go crazy sitting behind our desk working like a slave all day. We are not robots ! This is one of big discussion in UK media recently when some employers blocked access to social networking sites.

I’m so glad that Nairaland is not blocked on the corporate site of my work like other sites I mentioned above but trust me, as long as I get my job done, I won’t feel guilt for surfing the net and viewing an educative site like Nairaland where I can reach my people from other parts of the world.

No employers reading this will be happy but it’s a very interesting question, hope you get more response and then make up your mind.

Tayo

well, for some jobs, you're allowed and even expected to use the internet while on duty.

eg security guard jobs   with those ones, we surf the web, load up on coffee or soda, and log off to walk around and secure the premises. Some watch porn, others (like me) log on Nairaland or some other site. Which is better? You do the math.



for other jobs, as long as the top shots arent complaining, then by all means stay on Nairaland. However, the day they decide to start logging productivity due to the credit crunch, better gerrup sharp sharp! Push some files around like Nigerian civil servants do

The morality question is not important, what is important is whether your company monitors internet usage and you suddenly find that your ass is kicked out of the door

It is wrong, absolutely!

Abuse of IT facilities and a sackable offence

I am fighting the demons and i am winning the battle trust me!

From 100 posts btw 9-5 down to 10 posts, is not a bad effort!

From next week, i will be banning NL while i am at work.

Fuc.k it, the nonsense has to stop!

There is nothing wrong with It. Nairaland is not a bad site. Its not like U are using the company computer to watch porn

Ideally it isn’t rite but as they say all work and no play makes jack a dull boy!

But beyond all this, time is the most precious thing we’ve got. . if you give something or someone ur time. . u re actually giving them part of ur life. . .so time is precious

Use it, don’t abuse it and remember never mistake motion for action

I dey do am everytime jo!

Definately Justifiable!
My Boss is aware of my Nairaland addiction and he is in full support because it makes me sit my butt in one place for a long time and that way, I get things done(according to him). . ._{If not for Nairaland, Bank Job would have driven me crazy.}
