Facebook Moves Into The Office

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....

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 ?

No I understand @Anonymous started a thread with a news link about FB moving into offices.

A lot of people are against FB type posts on the forum...so we we were all giving our thoughts on what it would be like here.....if FB moved into the O2 office/forum.

Meaning it would be worse than it is already

Internal communication within a company is very important. Companies are already using a lot of tools to create the best atmospheare at work, Google would be the perfect example of this.

How could Facebook be seen as internal communication

I agree Internal communication within a company is very important...as are all types of communication. I used to lecture on Communication and relevant skills within my own NHS organisation.Slightly different

I know ....as whilst management need the tools for electronic communication of the highest calibre...nursing, medical staff and all paramedical staff must never lose the art of verbal communication.

I must admit though, the biggest improvement in our type of communication is, with one click of a button...a clients medical records, blood results, scans etc can wing round the country and be seen by any other nedical personnel wherever you are...
