IF I should get cut off from internet access (therefore also from participation on this forum) due to the blundering inefficiency of some of our managers, I apologise and hope to get back sometime in future. Notwithstanding very good motivations from some of us to be granted internet access, ALL the applications have been denied, without consultation. Our IT staff are thunderstruck by this, and I feel it is a even further cutback in our overall departmental prowess, which I myself have held in high esteem for so many years, and have actively promoted. :( :grumpy:
 
QUIT SCREWING AROUND AND GET BACK TO WORK!!

:D:D:D

I have run up against some of the same constraints in Australia and also in Canada. Many companies (including one that I worked for) are rethinking their internet policies and allowing free access all day long, while monitoring and disciplining people for abuse. Your company appears to be taking a step backwards...

I wonder what our IT thinks of me surfing out this way.:confused::eek:

"'Bladeforums'...? We got another live one here!":rolleyes: :p :p
 
I seems to me that a company would have only a couple of reasons for limiting the internet or doing away with it. If employees were not getting assigned work completed, or for some type of abuse of the privilege. Not being in the work force any longer I wouldn't know about the cost factor,but I wouldn't think that would be the problem unless they did away with the internet all together.

It seems to me that in this day and age business and no internet would be almost inpossible.
 
Your Mileage May Vary:

Honestly, I don't think the internet is a critical tool, unless of course you actually conduct business through some sort of internet-based customer interface. I don't include email with the internet, because I feel that email is useful for speedy communications. The internet is a good source of ready reference material, so if a company is highly involved with externally-generated information, it could be a critical resource. Journalists would fall into that category, as do scientists (much of the current scientific literature is on-line, and if you subscribe to online access, the internet is the fastest and easiest place to get it).

Company intranets, however, can be criticial, and become more important as the size of a company or the number of people working withing the same project increases.

I can see how a company would want to kill net access to increase job focus and productivity, but I don't think it shows a great deal of confidence or trust in employees.

By the way - I have no practical experience whatsoever in any sort of corporate environment. I'm just expressing unfounded opinions.
