Does your boss know??

I'm noticing a trend here..... Between the hours 8am to around 16h00.... this forum is on fire...... and it tapers down drastically around 17h00....

What are you guys doing at work??

 

lol........

We are chilling... O sorry i speak for myself.

 

Nice 1 Cheetah, some people are not that busy and others I guess just multi-task.
Most companys don't block this site, not on the blacklist lol.
So I guess the boss doesn't know.

 

i own the companies.... i do what i like

 

Henk do you have a lot of staff
Do you mind if they on a forum during working hours

no i dont - yes i would have a problem....

 

Fortunately this site seems under the radar for now. I know MASA has made it onto some block lists... (I might just register another domain or something is tasa gets blocked )

Where I work you can browse facebook or whatever, as long as your work gets done. The 55mb internet connection helps...

 

Thankfully my boss allows me to go online when I have no work to do

 

Well, the work internet is open for me all day as I sometimes need to do research so I usually multi task my browsing or when waiting for code to compile. And I also have to make sure that my work for the day is done at the end of the day.

 

I have 5 browser windows open all the time, and boss knows , as long as i get the work done before deadlines they happy.

 

Lol!!!

 

As long as the work is done, I can do what I want.

I am a FIRM believer in 2 principles.

If your work is finished. Go home. My boss isn't quite in agreement here, and feels that if you finished your work you should find something to do. In this case I TASA. But I honestly feel that if you are 100% complete all your cycles for the day, why not go home? If this is happening 4 times a week, every week, then you need to relook at your work and take on more responsibility.

The second principle I believe in is if your office work can be done at home, and you are a person of integrity and can actually get the work done at home.. then do the work at home. My boss is slowly coming around to this idea, and has actually noticed that sometimes i am more productive when I work form home. At times he has even ASKED me to go work at home, and not bother coming into the office after site visits.
Then TASA is also easier!

 

Wel our internet has been blocked and u need a password to access, wich i don't have so i'm using somebody elses. So i can only go onto the net when that person has gone home wich is 4 o'clock. So i guesse the boss does not know. Gives me little time on the forum tho.

 

I would usually only visit the forum in office time from my work PC if I'm expecting PM (Wish I could get pm's direct to email since outlook is open all day?)

Otherwise I sometimes visit after 4.30 knockoff timewhile waiting for my lift, rest of the time its opera mini access... I still need a home internet solution (that doesn't include or rely on line rentals and telkom wires)

 

Ferryman,

If you go to your user profile, you can update to have PM's sent to email, but you have to log into TASA to reply to them

 

I would like to work from home and my boss is all for it. But because I'm a senior, I have to be there the train and help the juniors...

 

thanks Zoom, I went and checked my setting on just after i posted that remark, at least I'll get my pm's without needing to log just to check

 

Just please do not go to Neotel... They are horrible!

 

My boss does not mind but the work has to be finished before I get to play on the forums....lol

 

Considering i am in a family business and i own part of it....im free to roam the net lol
