Obviously in any job-you must have your priorities straight-
Common sense has to prevail-work is work no matter how you slice it- and it has to get done or let's face it-you're out on your keister...

Well, someone has struck a nerve!
 A lot of questions come to mind: If you were an employer, should you reasonably expect an employee's energies and efforts to go 100% into your mission, objectives and goals? If you're an employee, how do you justify doing something completely personal - playing let's say an hour a day- rather than working when you're getting paid to do a job? What do these diverging views say about loyalty, a job versus a career, trust, ethics? If you are capable of multi-tasking...should you be multi-tasking about your job rather than personal pursuits? If you were the employer rather than employee, and your company was one of your passions, would you feel differently?
Interesting...

If the bosses are happy and the employees productive-who cares if the employees are online for personal reasons at times during the workday? |

If the bosses are happy and the employees productive-who cares if the employees are online for personal reasons at times during the workday? True, but these days, with all the cut backs, more often than not the company is STRUGGLING to stay afloat. Not a good time for any lazy people to be slacking off. I think that this attitude is directly tied to why we are being bested by China. They still have better work ethics. And no, not even going into what have been termed "labor abuses". Even when they immigrate here, those I have known still actually understand that you WORK at work. |

For those of you who do it during the hours that you are being paid for, not lunch breaks, how do you live with yourselves knowing you are basically stealing from your employer? When I worked for the state I refused to be in the stupid birthday club, because it pretty much boiled down to sitting around eating cake on the tax payers dime, and that didn't sit with my conscience. come sit next to me and see if you can hang... I doub't it... have a nice weekend...! P.S. happy workers are more productive than un-happy workers... chain them to the desk, or let them do a little recreational browsing... which worker has more potential?... I argue the latter...

Even when they immigrate here, those I have known still actually understand that you WORK at work. Yes -but it 's gonna depend on the type of work and how you're day is structured-Not all jobs are the same. I put 100% in at work and it's alot of multitasking and phone calls-just like a salesman-I made this company a fortune this year-they had their best year in profits due much in part to me. Ya can't put everyone in a nutshell on this one-some people have the time-some don't-doesn't always mean there is laziness or a lack of work ethic involved... |

come sit next to me and see if you can hang... I doub't it..." RFLMFAO, if you only knew! They had to hire 3 to do what I did when I resigned from the last position I had working for someone else. Naw, don't think it would be anything but a walk in the park. have a nice weekend...! I plan on it. A friend is having a birthday tomorrow. P.S. happy workers are more productive than un-happy workers... chain them to the desk, or let them do a little recreational browsing... which worker has more potential?... I argue the latter...
This is true. Which is why the GOOD workers leave places that let the deadwood who under perform dump their duties on those who do perform. I certainly resented them getting the paychecks for the work I did. Didn't make the real workers very happy, and which would you rather retain? And no, not saying EVERYONE has the same working conditions, or that their employers have the same structure or requirements. But, you have to admit that there are a lot of people SNEAKING in their personal online time, so they basically know they are stealing. Those are the ones I questioned regarding work ethics and lack of conscience. |

When I worked for the state I refused to be in the stupid birthday club, because it pretty much boiled down to sitting around eating cake on the tax payers dime, and that didn't sit with my conscience. I could see judging someone for being online during work if it affected their ability to get their work done. However, if they are getting their work done, I see no problem with it. |

Please let me remind everyone to stick to the topic in hand which is "Mingles at Work".
There is no reason for racism to be brought into any threads. Please make sure your responses are directed towards the question asked and not towards others by attacking or offending others. With that said please stay within the topic if you feel the need to go off the subject I suggest that it would be best to move on.. Tnanks Sit Mod Kristi |

If I'm online with an insurance company while posting this I'm still making them money
