Seems like this came up here a while back but it wasn't relevant at the

Friend is working at a desk with internet access. We trade email through
the day (at no loss to productivity BTW)
His boss has clamped down on all personal use - web browsing and email.
There is monitoring of some sort.

We're looking for a work-around for email and/or browsing that is
transparent to typical workplace monitoring. Anything out there?
I would not want a thief like you working for me.

When you are at work your time is the companies time. Any way you
find
to use the companies time as your personal time is THEFT.

Not necessarily. There are many salaried positions. You are paid to
perform a task. Whether it takes you 1 hour or 10 hours, the pay is
the same. Take a day off, you get paid. Work 60 hours, no extra pay.

I can see benefits to personal use at the office. Keeping tack of
competitors, personal messages to customers, networking with
complimentary businesses (referrals), sending birthday or anniversary
wishes.

When you can ask a customer about his grandson, BY NAME, you are well
on your way to a solid relationship with that customer.

It's been my experince that the most productive, most intelligent people in an office are always serious multitaskers. It's like their minds need X amount of activity to keep from imploding, so they will have multiple windows going all the time, of which several will be personal. And they still outperform on their assigned tasks. My friend is one of those.
