An audit of computer use by my employer revealed that I spend 7 hours of my work day using the computer for personal use, mainly the MFP site. Thanks alot MFP!!

    I'm sorry you got fired? Is it that you left your food log open or you were posting on message boards 7 hours a week (a days work or so?)

    That's like blaming McDonald's because one ate their food too much and became overweight.

    Photobucket must be getting quicker at removing this stuff, usually you had a couple of hours. I am curious at what the pic was. lol

    I would be totally screwed, because MFP is open from the time I log on til I go home.

    If it's Mcdonals fault that someone got burned by spilling hot coffee on them, then they get the blame for this also.

    That's extreme. Didn't you even get a warning first?
  • Posts: 557 Member
    So, you seriously blame MFP for the fact that you got fired? You're not joking around?
  • Posts: 854 Member
    WOW!!

    Same here! If I don't log my food right away, I forget. We aren't allowed cell phones in the dispatch center, but as of right now MFP isn't blocked. If it does get blocked, I'll have to actually WRITE my food down on PAPER...with a PEN!!! Oh, the horror! :laugh:

    per Forbes survey:

    Specifically, the survey revealed 64 percent of employees visit non-work related websites every day at work. Of that group, 39 percent spend one hour or less per week, 29 percent spend 2 hours per week, 21 percent waste five hours per week, and only 3 percent said they waste 10 hours or more doing unrelated activities.


    I'm closer to the 5 hour group (21%) wow!

    See you're doing it wrong. You need to get married to a sugar mama like I did. Then you don't HAVE to go to work.:laugh:

    same here, if something like an audit ever happened I'd be fired, but so would half of my co-workers.
