This reminds me of one of the big telco company I was working for:
Big announcement came one day that youtube and other "non work releated" websites were blocked to "encourage" people to work "harder". After two days, blocking is gone without futher announcement since some C-level started to complain to IT, that they use it.
- PopeDotNinja 7y agoI used to work for a company that turned on corporate blocking for a lot of sites. I learned a lot about DNS to trying to get around all of that stuff :). The system was also really stupid because it broke DNS for localhost when using the corporate VPN.
- mint2 7y agoLucky they didn’t selectively unblock the c level
- nitwit005 7y agoI was briefly at Dell (acquired company I worked for), and they sent out an email to some of the management that mentioned they were spending several million a year on internet services, but half of it was being consumed by YouTube. I'm sure they'd have blocked it if they could, but the CEO was busy posting videos there and sharing using Salesforce's social network feature (Chatter).
