Does Your Company Block Facebook on Work Computers?  |
|
 According to a poll, 46% of companies (with 100 employees or more) have blocked Facebook and Twitter. The main worry from companies appears to be that employees will waste time on Facebook.
More businesses are restricting access to these kinds of sites. Employees may not like it, but these websites can represent a security risk if used carelessly. Unless there's a work purpose, many firms do not see any reason why staff should need to access them during work time.
Does your company block Facebook and other popular social network sites on work computers?
If Facebook has been blocked, do you try to find a backdoor to slip in? How to avoid wasting time on Facebook at work?

1.  Fulltank (1097) | 1 month ago |  Yes, most company block social sites such as facebook or twitter. as any other non-company related sites int he internet. Its a policy most of the company's IT's guys are doing. If its not company related matters, then its block. IT are very good of doing it. Once they detected a site that is not for company's business, they intend to block it. My company is doing it and theres nothing wrong with it. I haven't try to find a back entry though, too dangerous and it might cause my job.

| clorissa123 (3612) | 1 month ago |  Although there are some departments won't be blocked, I won't try to access those social network sites while at work. Because I have to use my username and password to access that computer. And I won't use my co - workers too. I would rather wait until I get home, and do those socializing thing at my private time.

| 4. GardenGerty (20278) | 1 month ago |  I would not have time to access social sites while working, and would never dream of doing my private computing on company equipment. I do not want them able to track what I do.

| 6. LadyMarissa (2691) | 1 month ago |  The best way to avoid wasting time on Facebook while working is to just NOT GO THERE!!! I'm paid to work...NOT play. I've never tried to go on Facebook at work so I don't know whether they block it or not!!! I've heard others complaining they can't go to Youtube, but I've never heard them complain about Facebook.

| 7. clorissa123 (3612) | 1 month ago | Once, I used my computer at my station in attempt to access facebook, it was blocked. While I went to warehouse had a chat with my good friend there. I could access facebook without any problem. So, it depends on department to department at my work. Anyway, I won't waste too much time at facebook while I work. I better finish my work on hand as priority. | |

| 8. lordcaocao2025 (539) | 1 month ago |  Yes, my company block facebook after 9 am and open again at 4 pm. but my work time actually at 8 am to 5 pm. Actually at first the IT Block Facebook all the time, but since then, they make many enemy from other department, so they make that policy since it will hard for them to work if most of other work mate from other dept doesn't talk to them. Thanks

| 9. msfrancisco9369 (1970) | 1 month ago |  Yes our company did it once--they blocked the facebook, friendster and youotube sites. but this only lasted for a week. Now we can access them anytime of the day. I think it's just a matter of discipline from among the employees. We used to access this site during lunch break and do some posts for mylot LOL.
