slk_23 02/06/21 11:46:48 PM #1:	I just found out that Reddit is not blocked on my work's Wi-Fi. So now I've fallen down that rabbit hole, but there's a lot of questionable content on that site. Even if it's something harmless like YouTube or Wikipedia, there's still a lot of weird stuff that I wouldn't want to get fired for. Do they actually track and record what sites you visit on their internet, and they'll know if you visit questionable sites? --- https://imgur.com/5ldCA https://imgur.com/tvXx8Bh https://imgur.com/nAJVH https://imgur.com/H5jMv6k <cite>slk_23 posted [p:950363839] in At work, i...

SauI_Goodman 02/06/21 11:49:38 PM #3:	Yes. Try not to visit anything too weird on the work comp. In the early early days of the net like 25 years ago we had a guy fired for visiting porn sites. This was before they started filtering certain websites. Nowadays you could probably make the argument it wasnt blocked so it must be safe but i wouldnt chance it. --- If you can see this message it's a wonder why it hasn't been modded yet by the snowflakes. <cite>SauI_Goodman posted [p:950363914] in At work, i...

The Top Crusader 02/07/21 12:48:50 AM #11:	Yes they definitely can, I was in IT for many years. But Id say 99% of the time no one will bother looking into it unless they suspect you of doing something terrible, or MAYBE just that youre wasting a lot of time.
