This is when the concept of PC "personal computer" changes to CC "company
computer". I'm not saying I like it, but this is what management is
demanding.
I suspect that view is largely due to the fact that the company, not the
employee, buys the computer. IOW, it is the companies "personal computer",
not the employees... but I could be wrong...
I guess I'll take the unpopular view. I agree wholeheartedly. I didn't buy
the computer, so I have no rights to it. If the company wants to run SMS
against it, monitor it, etc. more power to them. It's theirs anyway.
My PC is at my house, where it belongs. They want me to work from my house,
they give me a computer to do so. It works both ways. :)
so what? I prefer to have people who watch porn and are efficient over
those who are "normal"
but produce nothing.
If you mean at work, I can only assume you have not worked for a company who
has been sued (successfully) for sexual harassment as a result of people
surfing for sexually explicit content. What goes on at home is no ones
business, but at work, the company - not the employee - is held responsible
in the courts for such actions, or at least that is how it works in the US.
