Acceptable Use Of IT Resources

When I first arrived here in the office here in July last year (wow), I was amazed how much time people spent on the Internet during what is supposed to be working hours watching films, being on Facebook, playing games etc. OK, we all use the Internet during the work day, and of course no-one in their right minds would expect anything else - as long as you use it in a fair way.  Anyway, through being a miserable kill-joy and constant reminding the team of the company's "Acceptable Use of IT Resources" policy, gradually this has changed.

Now they hide what is on their screens when I walk past.

With the office move that's going on at the moment, we have temporarily got teams from other floors moving in on our floor whilst we clear their old homes of networks etc and it's incredible how many of them blatantly sit at their desks watching You Tube or playing Angry Birds on their phone.

Are all offices like this?
