Do you surf the internet at work?

[Dancing Fire]

does your boss know?...

lunch time!

 

[amc80]

Absolutely, and no, my boss doesn't care. He would care if I didn't get my work done, but I do. He streams live sporting events at work all the time.

 

[Autumnovember]

Not unless I have no patients or I'm not busy. I do it at lunch all the time though.

 

[Rena7]

If I'm not busy I do. I have to be there to answer the phone anyway. I'm not sure if my boss knows, I don't point it out to him. I also sometimes read a book.

 

[dk168]

I do during my breaks, and if my bosses and colleagues see my surfing the net, they know I am at lunch and not to disturb me, as I get grouchy if they do.

I'd go stark raving mad if I didn't.

 

[ame]

Yep and it's encouraged. I am mostly paid to "be there" and my workload varies. They don't care a whit. Though I often get bellowed at when the internet goes down. Lol

 

[AprilBaby]

Only on my iPad at lunch.

 

[canuk-gal]

Never.

 

[marcy]

Only on lunch or breaks using my own iPad.

 

[missy]

When I was working no. I don't have a computer anyway though the clinic where I work(ed) has to be EHR ready very soon so I guess within a few months internet ready they will be though I still would not want to use work computers to check out personal things. However on work breaks I would sometimes use my smartphone to check things out on the internet. But never on work time.

I surf on my break or during lunch if I stay in. Once in a while I have the internet open on a different monitor if I'm waiting on a report to run or something to compile. I don't know if my boss knows. I always assume he can see what I'm doing and adjust my surfing accordingly.

 

[diamondringlover]

nope its not allowed

 

[msop04]

Only when I'm not busy... I'm not sure my boss knows that I surf, but all of our pharmacies have internet access, so...

 

[manderz]

It's part of my job It can be a little tough to keep it on track sometimes, but I have to stay up on the current goings on, and I do lots of research.

 

[azstonie]

I too would have gone stark raving mad without it I resigned my job on Friday and my last activity there was to wipe everything off my computer. The dept IT staff are too busy to look, I kind of needn't have bothered.

When I was supervisory, the company had a de minimus policy about net surfing, assuming it wasn't **** or gambling.

Very, very rarely, and only work related. I work with special needs students. Mostly, it would just be to log a student onto a math or reading website.
