All Work, No Play
A New York judged stated that surfing the internet is just like reading a newspaper or talking on the phone at work.
These statements stem from an incident in which a 14-year administrative veteran of the city's Dept of Education was fired for idling away at the computer while at work. The administrative law judge recommended the lightest punishment possible and re-instatement of his job.
The worker's computer was used to visit news and travel websites...uhh..sure. The judge also added that city agencies allow workers personal use of the phone if it does not interfere with work performance. Sounds like a win for the little guy...I'll get back to work now.
