[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] Reasons against opening I-net access..
Thats how we feel. We monitor logs and bring up issues with management, but being a dictator from the get go doesn't make our network anymore secure or make our people work harder. Frankly, letting people go check there stocks, follow there retirement funds and check the news seems to keep there brain flowing. I see LESS work coming from people restricted from communications because boredom does strange things to ones mind. Believe me, we are about 250 users as well, it is easy to track a consitantly abusive user. It is not economical nor ethical for us to dictate who gets what. I guess we work on a team, and a team doesn't work together when only certain people have the resources to do there job. Being able to check prices, follow competitors, watch your options, keep track of friends, do your email, follow the news, watch streaming media for training, video conference, hell even listen to ra music streams keeps our people productive. Even blocking out ICQ and aim is bad. Developers/is persons and even engineers and such use these services to keep up with friends and usually other persons with similar talents. Questions can be solved quicker, resources are more readily available on icq/aim/irc then just about anywhere else other then http://www.google.com and http://www.dejanews.com :) -----Original Message----- From: Graham Leggett [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 08, 2000 6:00 AM To: Joe Delsol Cc: FW-1 List (E-mail) Subject: Re: [FW1] Reasons against opening I-net access.. Despite the huge potential the internet has for abuse by workers it's also in my experience the most valuable work tool that I have. Be too restrictive in your access control and you might as well not have access at all.
