I've been fortunate enough to never have been employed at a company where the employer things its good practice to ban certain websites. How common is this? What field do you work in?
- alexandros 17y agoThankfully in academia things are very relaxed. I just thought of a friend who has this problem and then I realised I know at least 2-3 people in office jobs who have similar issues. I'm in the UK btw.
- yummyfajitas 17y agoAcademia is indeed relaxed. Most academics I know have their .forward file point to their gmail.
- joeyo 17y agoIndeed. Gmail is just about the only successful pine killer I've ever witnessed.
- frognibble 17y agoIt's common enough that Gmail has a feature to allow blocking the chat feature and not all Gmail. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=34330 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answe...
- levesque 17y agoThen it is safe to assume that gmail will have a feature to block buzz... problem solved?
- Lazlo_Nibble 17y agoIn financial services there are excellent regulatory and operational reasons for blocking a wide variety of web sites.
- Teulon 17y agoI've worked in Healthcare, Law Enforcement and the Military; the only time it wasn't blocked was when I had my own company.
