I won’t even post to FR, from my work computer.

I figure it’s pretty non-controversial, to read FRom work, but figure all it takes is one non-PC remark posted which is read by some security person, printed and ending up in the hands of a gung-ho HR “tolerance and diversity” person, and that’s it.

Seriously. Can’t speak for anyone else, but my employee takes such things very seriously. We’ve got other rules, about other important considerations as well. Everyone knows the rules — whether they’re for purposes of data security, confidentiality or even political correctness, and it’s just the way things are.

Work is work. Home is for your own time.

Home is for your own time

Really, tell that to most corporations who have their people on call 24/7. I work from home for them, I should have the right to have some privacy while at work. Its that simple.

Work is work. Home is for your own time

Even your unpaid lunch hour?

Hah. At some companies you'd be taking your career in your hands even bringing up FR's homepage. Besides the argument that company equipment and resources shouldn't be used for personal purposes, it's an invitation for harrassment and might possibly been seen as indicative of a "hostile work environment" by your more tender-hearted liberal co-workers. Get an iPhone and browse FR from it. On your breaks, of course.

You are wise. It is best never to let them have any access to your passwords. I know people that shop e-bay and do their banking and all sorts of things from their work computer.

I figure, why lead anyone into temptation?
