This is really a difficult topic. I cannot go to internet much anymore cos my boss, sitting at the back of my desk, telling me off today that i write to this forum too much and it is not work related...
In this site, we always hear people discussing about looking at other half's email, chatting or disclosing private details on public forum...how about bosses? Do they have the right to hide at your back, questioning, spying who you are talking to on the phone and who you are wiritng to??
How do you feel about this? Is that only happen in Chinese bosses? May be you are a boss too, how do you feel staff going to internet during work?
i probably will not answer much cos i can onmy log in after work tomorrow!!
ps. I did finsh all the assignments she asked for on time!

Try to be more discreet next time..or better yet, wait till you finish work and get home to catch up on the juicy bits you missed out on

Hi agree with annebin. I have an assistant who is constantly on the phone which really pisses me off, especially when I need to talk to her. I think that if staff want to be on the internet or do personal stuff they should be discreet and considerate towards the fact that they are PAID during office hours ie lunch hour or after office hours. Whether or not they are busy is irrelevant. Also if staff are not busy they should take the initiative to ask for more work or let their boss know that they are bored. Sorry if this sounds harsh.

boss is paying fot staff to do a task by the hour thus boss wants staff to do withiut fear of distracting but when staff has proved to boss that task is under hand the boss does not care... but i know nothing and am a slut and staff may not publicy vouch for that but as long as the task is done and the deal signed and seaaled... the paycheck will be delivered. Not even McStaff can be slack and they don;t and have pride because the paycheck is priority...

And for clarification should i pay my hard earned money and waste it on an asset who has promised to work for pay but is more conserned with a 6 million dollar question than negotiating the actual question?... there are many wireless sites and cafes to chat... I suggest you find a boss who appreciates time management...

it's very difficult to draw the line. If you are working in a public office, you should not even use the photo copying machine for any personal use and use the telephones to call your friends, etc. The thing is we are adult and if they does really not interrupt our perfomrance, it should be ok.
My Company did have system to monitor emails and internet usage, but if you being told not to use internet and being spy by people at your back. You feel like treating like a child.
OK, got to go...

its the way honey....thats why some companies actually have set loo times...lol
its pathetic i know but its no different in HK than it is anywhere else in the world really and it doesnt matter if they are male or female of what nationality...there are sticklers out there and they are all sad gits who deserve to be shot.
To be fair if i were a boss then i would ban internet during working hours. Its one thing to say 'if your not busy then you can go on' but surely that would make any intelligent being rush their work and do a sh*t job just to get on the internet.
Bad luck that your sitting close to bitch face...best thing to do if stay clear for at least two weeks then she should start thinking your hobbie has passed. xx

My boss is not the one that pays my salary and the equipment and i can hear her talking phone regarding her newly purchase flat, emails from the lawyer and she goes on internet about getting a mortage from the bank. Well actually we all know what's everybody doing in the office, or whether this person is capable for the job. Answer a thread in the forum might help motivate your speed of work as well!
I just think this is simply interfer personal life, if you have been challenged something like that and she is the boss means she can challenge and i got no say. It's just unfair and stupid but life is like that!

Yeah, she did not interfer my personal life, but she asking me what i was i written at the forum, that is a bit too much for me.
Well i will never talk to anyone at the higher level, boss is boss, she have all the right...I was upset by that and the one to release some stress is to post it at the forum. That is one of the reason why forums on the internet is around!

Using company time and resources for personal use is a privilege. It's funny how some people see it as a right, get caught abusing it, then bitch and moan about it non-stop afterwards.

blaze> i did not see it as right thing at all, I am not complaining but express "this is life", i just raise it up cos this is a forum for rasing for discussion, sharing and whinning. I am not asking your judgement here. I can see how people react in the forum, always try to show how intellgent they are by telling people off. :)
Definitely i am not as intellgent as you guys.
I just received an email from a manager talking about how to celebrate and share presents of a matual friend's birthday or ask us whether we want to buy cake made from her daughter...think she will get fire soon too?
thread close and i will not go into this forum after hours anyway...or just during lunch time.
I keep my work, so you guys do not spend in the toilet for too long, you will get fire too.

Nemesis, thanks for the good rules.
Blaze> i suddenly do not want to end this thread i want to keep it going and keep the whinning.
Think you better stick to your work rather than posting on this forum.
