How to get the sack from your job.

1. Go to work
2. Spend all day on Facebook.

3. Message your friends all day.

Is it any wonder companies are blocking access to Facebook on their internal systems?

Good grief. I cant think of anything more ridiculous. No matter what they say it is intended for ....we all know it will be abused.....People using FB for their own personal use. Open to all sorts of abuse.

In my job within the NHS I had no time for any of that nonsense. I rarely even got a break

I was far too busy caring for critically ill patients, juggling bed management, teaching staff etc etc...Often working hours of unpaid overtime in an effort to get everything done to a high standard

I am not looking for sympathy...that was my job and I worked hard at it. I had no time to be logging into Facebook...for whatever reason....Evil

But @Cleoriff surely today's teenagers and twenty somethings don't expect to have to do something called work do they? Surely they should be texting their mates and going on Facebook. Work must surely be left to others.

People going to work to actually work? ?? Well I never. Who would ever have come up with such a concept. 😄😄😄😄😄😄

I don't have access to the Internet whilst at work, but obviously am free to do as I wish during break times.

Even then I am not allowed to make it public knowledge where I work just in case someone takes my views as those of my employer!

I do know that they use software that trawls all social media sites in case someone mentions the company name!

In my Hospital all computers were linked ONLY to the NHS website and set up by out inhouse IT dept.

Only if you were very tech savvy could anyone bypass this system...  You wouldn't bother bringing in your own laptop....you never found time to use it...Or unless you had a locker, you risked it going missing....

A post which mentions Facebook - isn't that something you're completely against @Anonymous ? Whistle
