What do you think of people accessing facebook at work?

Hi Harck! I work in an office and I access Facebook during work hours. But only during times that I don't have anything to do and I have finished all my work. Work comes first. But if I'm in a different office, well, that's a different story. I don't think I would have the guts to use a computer and access Facebook there. But maybe if I have a good friend there and I'm a visitor and if she lets me use her computer, then maybe I will access Facebook. After all, I'm visiting and not there for work matters. So saying that, I don't think it's a problem if employees access Facebook during their FREE TIME. As I've said, work should come first. And besides, even if people say these Facebook users use the office resources and that's the internet, the office will still pay the same internet fee rate with or without employees accessing FB. ^^ Cheers.

Dear friend, As long as that teen is not distrubing the work or may if the work is going well, I feel that bit time to relax is to given. Moreover facebook if it is taken in better it is much helpful alos. But if that is adversly affecting the work and the teen tends to be in negative way. I feel it would be better to limit it.

i do go on facebook once in awhile but not that often. i would be ok if i did because i blog for work and will eventually have to link my blog to facebook so going on there is not a problem at work.

the girl was being immature. it probably was something she did innocently, she doesn't think it's inappropriate to be doing so. yes i'd be embarrassed to access my facebook in another person's office...and worse, i'd be more uncomfortable if i were new in the company...

For me they are addicted to it and no power to stop it unless they visit there account every day.

First of all, why would a worker have to use facebook when it's WORK TIME? That's pretty unfair to the employer don't you think? They're paying the employees to work and not to slack around. If facebook is also part of the work load, then of course it's alright. If not, then the person or employee should act more professional towards his or her work. Age isn't really a matter here. Whether teen or not, responsibilities should be taken care of.

I think it's okay to access facebook at work but they have to make sure it won't affect their job and their performance at work. I am a facebook user and I do access it in the office and all my other co-workers access it as well. We are however not allowed to access any other sites rather than the ones we use for work. But since it's so boring at work since not all the time we have customers to attend to so we do other stuff like doing facebook stuff. But I do make sure facebook doesn't affect my job. I make sure I do my job first before I go to my facebook account. And I also make sure my boss doesn't see my opening my facebook or else I am sure they will surely call my attention. they have seen me though but never had been called for that since they know that I do my job first than anything else.
