Hi, One more thing, it is a well-known fact that the management of any organisation has the right to monitor and control the usage of its resources to ensure that they are not being misused or abused.
And, all employees are required to use those resources in accordance with the laid down rules and principles of the organisation, being bound by their acceptance to work for that organisation. As they say, "If your boss doesn't let you......, find another job!".
