I can tell you that porn is on Dept of Defense computers. You cannot even access it.
I cannot say the same for the IRS, EPA, State Department, Dept of Education, Health and Human Services, or the rest of those freedom choking, money sucking agencies.
It is. Military computers block access to lot of sites, particularly those dealing with porn, gambling, gaming, firearms, and "hate" sites.
But a lot of these people will just start watching porn on their mobile device or tablet (if they are not already doing so).
This is exactly what they do. And they receive NJP when they are caught.
That has to be the subject of a directive? It isn’t already in the rules that one doesn’t watch TV or surf the internet while at work?
How is it that porn addicted freaks make more than most Americans on the gubmit dime?
Go Trump!
They shouldn't be allowed to watch porn on ANY device at work. That's why it's called work. Geez - only in modern America.
I did know a guy working over night in a joint office OCONUS that got in trouble for porn. When our agency's system blocked his favorite site, he walked across the office and used a DOD system. I think the result was a 30 day suspension without pay. Not sure how he explained his "vacation" to his wife.
You’d think that some sort of requirement that Federal employees be minimally productive, and proper supervision, would curb the time spent on viewing much of anything not work related.
Then again, with some of these agencies, do we really want the employees to be “productive”?
Ah, such a dilemma...
Well, what do you expect them to do while eating breakfast at their desks? watch a spreadsheet?
Safeguards in the interoffice computer networks in the federal government have been in place since 2006!!!!!
The main rule I know is getting your projects completed on time.
DONT YOU OPPRESS US!
Oh,yeah?
Well, I belong to the Postal Employees for Mandatory Porn, or PEMP.
Don't you be messin' with the PEMPs, yo!
Totally agree. I'm for a crowdfunding project to send 'em all a lifetime supply of Kleenex.
LOL...but you’re probably right. Porn on government computers WILL PREVAIL!!
I’ve worked in both the public and private sector and both have had (and should have) sniffer programs that block objectionable websites, usually according to either keywords or blacklists.
While annoying, these are absolutely within the rights of the employer to limit access to sites that are deemed not suitable for work (since it is their network and their computers).
I’m surprised any agencies don’t have anti-porn sniffer programs already in place but, then, we’ve had Democrats in charge the past eight years so they’ve probably unblocked all the gay porn sites, etc.
Postal INTERAGENCY Mandatory Porn.
PIMP.
Lol - that’s what I thought!
You mean they really had to explain this to employees? They should be checking out every computer, especially for child porn.
LOL! You can’t go wrong in the Ninth Circus! ;)
Seriously.... Can’t believe this is even debatable. In the private sector, these people would have been shown the door long ago.
Some state employees get away with it and with the right last name, promoted.
Not sure that opposition equals probable cause. We're the guys that like the Constitution, remember?
