Feb.29.2008 Be careful with that Internet usage at work

An alarming amount of people have been getting fired at work for their various misdeeds in Internet usage or emails. So stop masturbating 2girls1cup and listen up.

A new survey found that more than a quarter of employers have fired workers for misusing e-mail, and one third have fired workers for misusing the Internet on the job. The study, conducted by the American Management Association (AMA) and The ePolicy Institute, surveyed 304 U.S. companies of all sizes.

The vast majority of bosses who fired workers for Internet misuse, 84 percent, said the employee was accessing porn or other inappropriate content. While looking at inappropriate content is an obvious no-no on company time, simply surfing the Web led to a surprising number of firings. As many as 34 percent of managers in the study said they let go of workers for excessive personal use of the Internet, according to the survey.

Among managers who fired workers for e-mail misuse, 64 percent did so because the employee violated company policy and 62 percent said the workers’ e-mail contained inappropriate or offensive language. More than a quarter of bosses said they fired workers for excessive personal use of e-mail and 22 percent said their workers were fired for breaching confidentiality rules in e-mail.

Uh. This doesn’t include people blogging at work, right? Because, uh, that’s like giving back to society and shit. Like I’m pretty sure me writing about really important things like forcible abortions is curing cancer. Because laughter is the best medicine. Especially laughter that leads to stem cell research!
