givers/takers
I think a lot of depends on the people involved, just how selfish they are, you know, and what their personal sense of morals are.
Some people feel the employer owes them something special just for showing up.
Others are anal to the point that they put in extra hours, work through their lunch break, etc. just to do the the ol' company proud.
Others, and I'm in this catagory, don't mind goofing off on company time, but eventually a built-in governer (conscience) kicks in and propels you to get something done. And if you're behind on something and you know in your gut it's because of all those late lunches, well then you roll up your sleeves and take the stuff home and pull a couple of all-nighters.
From personal experience, it's positively wretched when you're in a group that doesn't fit your ethic.
I know a lot of places filter email & web access & what not to keep their employees, and I guess that's useful in some places, but like
Ole Juul said...I have a problem with people who don't trust me
, so people like me actually end up wasting more of the employers time & resources trying to find a fresh proxy to punch through the web filtering, and other mischief along those lines.
I kinda think ( at least in my mind ) that Facebook is sorta like going clubbing or to a rave, and boards more like going to a nice, quite bar where you don't get thrown out of too often.
