Ordinary activities in the domestic Internet may be prohibited in the workplace. Who violates the rules is subject to discipline and even dismissal!
The working environment should always be harmonious. After all, with rare exceptions, that’s where people spend at least a third of the day. There are those who have more contact with peers than with their own family.
Send “scraps” (scraps) to friends in “Orkut”, watch videos on “YouTube” (video site), use email to resolve personal problems, exchange information chat in “Live Messenger” (MSN).
Watch out! Workplace is not virtual “Chat”!
Disobedience to the “information security” company policy may end up in warning and dismissal. In the end, the owner of the computer and network access are the boss, who can even read what you write in webmail.

The daughter of a colleague, a journalism intern at mining group in Minas Gerais, was to “the street” to share and comment on social networks disparaging facts about the employer during working hours. A similar case occurred in early February when two interns were dismissed by direction of the Senate after criticizing the President of the House, Senator Renan (PMDB-AL), a social network on the internet. I feel sorry for sacked, but earned it, because with the popularity of social networks and media and their impact on the construction and deconstruction of reputations, companies have every right to monitor everything their employees do on their work computer.
