Work tracking internet history?

It's all to do with perspective then, I suppose, and personal experience. I've only worked for small companies by comparison.
 
Has this thread just turned into a 'I work for a bigger boring corporation than you' or what.

Which one of you drives the Porsche and lives in Canary Wharf? Let's get this game over and done with quickly.
 
15 people here. I'm the IT guy. And accounts payable. And warehouse backup. And customer service backup. :D I love working for small companies - something different to do every day!

I actually like my job because of that. 7500 staff but my shift is only around 14 people, not including holidays, so I do get to move around a fair bit.
 
Sorry, we are about 3000 between here and the US! My office is 200 people.

Not that i need to justify it.
 
As has been said yes it's highly likely your company has the ability to monitor your browsing activity.

And as has also been said they likely will not care unless you give them a reason to ;)

Install this
https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere
I think with https they can only see what domains you are visiting and not what individual pages but I am not entirely sure. But they definitely can't see your username and password.
You could also use an ssh tunnel but I would say it's not a good idea unless you are on your lunchbreak in which case they have no reason to know what you are looking at.

Depends on the setup, I've worked places where everything can be monitored for content including ssl sessions (for instance using something like a Cyberoam device with ssl bridging).

63,000 :p

or 113,00 depending on if you count the parent :D

Is that all? :)

Fantasy world I'm afraid. In my not insubstantial experience the people who spend lots of down time browsing websites are not the grade A employees, they are lazy sods who need a kick up the arse.

What about those people who are busy some days, but occasionally have really slow days where there genuinely isn't much to do?

And of course those who get paid peanuts for what they do, and don't feel like giving 100% all the time.

We all know what a "grade A employee" really means. Someone who contributes a lot more value to the employer than the employer pays him. A mug, in other words :p

But let's not derail this thread too badly :p
