I work with a guy who spanks it in the bathroom while other people are in there. Some people are just gross.

Sometimes my wife can’t meet me for lunch so I’ll rub one out in my office. I’m respectful enough to put headphones in though. The guy I share a cubicle with kinda hates it but whatever.

It's something that will get you fired at my job.

Years ago, my first or second year as an associate after college (early 2000s), I had literally about 6 windows open with porn. Muted of course. I was downloading to a disk to take home and save on home computer for later.

Anyway, my senior, a pretty hot chic, came up behind me in my cube. It was too late to do anything. So, I just sat there calmy and looked her in the eye the entire time while she said whatever it was she came to say and responded to her. She was more uncomfortable than me by far. I was like frick it I'm busted, may as well act like nothing is going on and 6 porn windows across two monitors is normal.

I would think most companies have it blocked. I worked at a place where, before I worked there, they fired a manager for setting up his own internet in his office, in order to look at porn.

And I once had a guy a few cubicles down from me, who was looking at porn and one of the female employees passed by and saw him looking at it and she told her manager and he got fired.

It was crazy. He had been working there for about a month. All of a sudden, HR, his manager and someone else went to his cubical, then he started packing his shite and they escorted him out..

I’ve worked with two guys who got fired for watching porn on their work computers. This was before smart phones tho. Anyone who does this today has to be a complete idiot. And smart phone or not...can you not wait until you get home????

Also, I should say that was a different time.

Porn sites had yet to be blocked, a T-1 line at work vs AOL dial-up at home was HUGE. I would sit for an hour to download a 60 second movie clip on AOL at home.

Also if my senior had been really offended, she would have said something to me or to one of the other seniors who would have approached me. No one went to HR for shite like that back then. Ever. At all. I remember one night when we were slammed several of us went and did shots at a bar then came back to the office an hour or so later and kept working and no one said shite. Now a days that would be some serious offense or some shite instead of people being people and not ashamed of it.

We had one female manager that always had her's on some shopping site. Is that kind of the same thing?

Is this about the popups and redirects people keep getting here?

She was trying to read the URL for her own future research.

My last actual office gig was as a sales manager a few years back. It was always a battle between me and legal. 2-3 times a week they'd bring up another name, but these folks were bringing in 50mm in sales a year or more. 2 girls one cup was a particularly difficult time.

Back in my day multitasking was a strong resume building skill, not a firable offense. 2018 so soft

Must be a VERY lenient content filter/web application firewall at the office.

As an IT professional, I would have zero tolerance for any of the following:

-P2P or Torrent sites
-Porn sites
-Movie or TV streaming sites that go out of their way to bypass DMCA (i.e. couchtuner, thefirstrow)
-Any sites hosted outside of the U.S. that aren't already whitelisted
-Online game servers

Not only does that REALLY slow down your network, but in the case of the first four, it's a petri dish for malware and other nastiness that can not only compromise your work network but also that of your clients.
