Resource Exercise: "To Surf or Not to Surf". A recent survey by America Online and Salary. com found that
the average worker admits to wasting 2.09 hours per
eight-hour workday and that 44.7 percent reported
Internet surfing as their No. 1 distraction at work.
Most reasonable persons would agree that some use of
the Internet for personal reasons is acceptable as long
as it does not interfere with overall work performance.
Clearly, it is up to the employer to determine what type
of computer and Internet use is acceptable and to
educate its employees as to those guidelines and
restrictions.
If you were the CEO, what code would you enforce for
Internet use?
