I’ve run a business, but I am totally clueless on that line of work. The idea of “controlling” employees disgusts me. My people delivered exceptionally high-quality products on schedule, or they would have needed to find a new job, but that was the limit of my control over them.

Lots of people will work hard for their paycheck, and get a new job it they aren’t happy with the position. However, for all the propaganda that “sex work” is no different from a job as a bank teller, it really is different.

Every employer I’ve ever worked for has a sniffer program that blocks attempts to objectionable websites. For good reason.

The computers are company property. The employer could be legally responsible if the computer was used for, say, murder for hire or purchasing illegal drugs, etc.

In addition, employees should be spending their time working, not surfing the net for pornography, prostitution, or even time-wasters like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter unless these can somehow be job-related. The sniffer programs can be tweaked to include or exclude at the employer’s preference and some have even blocked political sites like FR.

It seems like Big Brother but it is really the employer protecting themselves from liability while ensuring that employees concentrate on the matter at hand.
