Do you use your Office Internet for your Personal Work ??

Its wrong but I do it as well at work. ... but its limited though, I can't really post in myLot using the internet at work, cause I only use a proxy site. If I could post here in myLot using the internet at work...than I'm pretty sure my earnings would increase more. lol

It maybe wrong to do this but i really do this a lot of times. I just don't find anything worth working for, they aren't giving me any so i open social networking sites as well and do my money making online while im in the office working. I too do the Alt + Tab most of the time when my boss is around. But most of the time he isn't so im trying to open other sites other than the site im working with :P Now my boss will really kill me if he gets to read this..heheh

I do not use office internet for personal use unless it's an emergency. Sometimes for half an hour after logging in I use it to check my personal mails. Otherwise I usually don't use coz i think it's almost like mis=using the facility.

With the kind of work that I am doing right now, it would be a miracle if I would be able to get a peek at my personal email. I also don't approve of people using their time at work doing things such as email and social networking during office hours. I don't want to do Mylot at work, rather I do this at home during my rest days.

I used to do the same but the management in the office noticed the less productivity of the employee and they noticed that all of the employee had opened social sites most of the time. Since then they blocked all the social sites and sites that are not related to work, that's why I never opened my money making sites when they blocked it. But them we could see the effect because employee are more responsible and they worked properly.

To use my office internet once a while for my personal works shouldn't be a problem. For your information, there is a software which can be used by your employer to monitor and observe the usage of your computer. This is a very good system to ensure that all of the employees of the company are seriously in their office works. For me, I were busy from the morning till the night. I were rarely had time to resolve my personal matters during the office hours. But now, I am having much more times for my personal matters. ha! ha! ha!

Am afraid, I do that a lot, but of course, when am not so busy with my office assignments. Like today being a weekend, and here just mylotting!

Its a kinda of unethical ..but yeah people do it very often..They need some leisure space between work .. BUt always personal surfing could be bad ..As it eats the bandwidth of company's internet ..else otherwise used for productive works ..

I also complete lot of my personal work in office using internet because its very fast (internet). Even I keep lot of websites open but since no one comes to my desk so I dont have to close the system. Only problem would be while so many sites are used, net becomes slow, i feel we can use one or two site at a time.

Hi, For my past few jobs,there is no internet service given to my desktop,so for sure, I was not able to serve internet in the office. But I don't think I will have time to do it so as I have so much work to do everyday. Since my last 2 jobs was at bank's call centre,therefore, I have to pick up calls once I step into my office. We have the target performance to hit everyday. For me, I prefer to use internet at home when I am off from work.so I can be more concentrating in my work.

Good for you. I know of some offices in which access to the internet has been blocked so the workers won't be doing any of their monkey business and therefore waste company time and power. I know that there are a lot of employees doing this on the sly especially when the boss is not around. Just make sure that it does not affect your efficiency as a worker.

Yes it is completely wrong, I know because I'm doing the same action of using office pc for my personal work, but I have a way to make sure not affect my work like I came in the office early as normal working hour so that I have to do my personal, then at the time for work I work, I leave my personal thing aside... by the way here in our office a little bit open to use for personal no problem but for respect... see you around

I think working at office is for professional things and not for personal. At home I have a computer and internet and I do my personal works here at home. At office For me I don't find to do any personal work or log into any social networking site and chat. It is a difficult task for me. Secondly we have a restricted access to internet that does not mean we cant access personal mails we can up to mails. My network admin is authorized to access internet when and where there is a need to access but stil i feel it is better to do at home when it is personal work. Have a fun filled life Calpro

well i have internet in my office and its totally under my control but still didn't used that for my personal work.... i don't think that its good for using that for our personal use...my heart says thats a cheating....well every one has his / her own feelings and thoughts....

I don't work outside the home anymore. But when I was working, I would never do it even when I got the chance. I used the computer and internet at work only for official use and never for personal stuff. I even had a separate mail account for work. The computer was in a secluded place and I could see anyone walking in giving me enough time to close windows...but I never did any personal stuff at work. I preferred coming home and doing mylot. Just because I do not do it and think it's wrong, doesn't mean I judge anyone who does. It's none of my business what others do.

I always do that in my office. Since the work is so boring, we could make something favorite if it doesn't affect our job. I always check the stock and read the news through surfing the internet. But I won't let it be found by the boss, he would ask why don't you have enough work to do. I know it's unappropriate and wish to control my urge the next year

Well i dont use pc at work :P My friend that does use spend 2-3 or even up to 5-6 hours to done his work but he got to stay around 7-8 hours at the day there so he uses the rest of the time to do something on his own , but hes job is done so he is not bothered .
