if there is a formal policy on net use/abuse, sure...and most companies who grant net access to employees are current enough with their employment agreements to have such a policy. Now that it's been mentioned that he was at Rogers, I'm *positive* they have one, lol.
a article that skims the surface:

blogging, downloading, and posting something like "I work at ________ and..." may invite liability, as the author also notes, but isn't that materially different than simple surfing?
In the absence of a net usage policy, and with no formal warnings, do you believe that I could be justifiably fired for reading the Toronto Star's website for 10-15 minutes at work with my morning coffee, particularly if my job performance was otherwise satisfactory? I *highly* doubt it. Granted, I doubt even more that someone would be fired if that were the case...but you know what I mean.
I would bet that the high profile cases you mention are NOT for simple web surfing of 'normal' sites and rather involve blogging, downloading, file sharing, compromising sensitive info, visiting inappropriate sites, etc. |

I got warned at my last job. Apparently, surfing on message boards was JUST banned a few months prior to my warning.
At my current job, as long as I get my stuff done, I take breaks for stress relief. |
