Really? I understand blocking porn but what is your motivation for seeing if somebody is reading a website that says sh*t? If the concern is them wasting time on Cracked, SomethingAwful, etc., wouldn't it be easier to do a whitelist? I can't claim any knowledge of corporate policy, but this surprises me because I have been reading a lot of popular websites for a long time, and I can only recall NSFW language warnings on video/audio clips, I assume in case people overhear you. So either the people one websites only think that they're not used in the US or they're actually not used, and I will never know the truth. Le sigh.

It is called "productivity" and the use of for example Facebook during working hours is called "theft of property and time" which is punishable with disciplinary hearings. This is a policy I have to follow and enforce. .......... although it pains me. I personally believe many of these banned websites is more useful than harmful. But the powers that is has deemed otherwise. If I get in position to change this policy, I will.

There is evidence to suggest that people get more accomplished if they're allowed to take more breaks, particularly in the primarily intellectual work of white collar drones. There's a certain point, obviously, when it's too much, since it takes time to mentally switch from one task to another, but it's not really possible for people to sit down and do eight straight hours of the mental drudgery required for office work. In fact, in its corporate offices Best Buy has started only demanding results without regard to how you get them. Which is something we whippersnappers have apparently been complaining about for a long time, that old-school managers think they are paying employees to physically be there 40 hours a week, no matter what they actually accomplish, not for results. I am a retail drone, which obviously does require my presence, so I have no experience with that yet.
Is the idea that sites with profanity are added to the blacklist? If so, again, why allow open internet access in the first place? And as the IT guy, do you sneak in PA time past the filter? ;-)
