Looking at guns at work bad?

[sbmania]

Exactly. Personal use of the company's computers is almost always forbidden, even more especially if it comes to something like guns. OP only needs one left wing looney tune walking by his desk and catching a glimpse of a gun on his screen to make the claim that they felt "intimidated" and are the victim of workplace harassment. Guess who's going to get fired?
OP's only (slim) hope is that he is good at his job, his boss likes him, doesn't want to go through the work and time to recruit again, and pushes back to HR that firing him is a bad business decision. OP needs to talk with his boos BEFORE the decision gets made, if the relationship supports it.

H.R. departments are often staffed by sociopaths who delight in kicking you when you're down. In fact, I despise the term Human Resources itself as it suggests workers are commodities to be used and discarded like coal that is burned then turned into ashes.

Sadly your right ! A family member that was injured and on Workers Comp.was contacted twice a day encouraging him to return to work and would be given special work detail according to what THEIR Doctor ( IME ) prescribed.He was deceased three weeks later from the injuries all attributed to the fall . No he was never able to even get out of the wheelchair ! Thank GOD for Lawyers !

Tell your bosses you'll just keep to the tranny porn next time. Seriously though using your work computer to surf the internet no matter what it is I just don't understand. You should get a warning and you should get a tablet for personal internet use.

Stay on the safe side! You know that if your computer use or web browsing is NOT directly work related stay the hell off the machine! Your work is caught up or you're ahead of schedule and bored? Go get a cup of coffee or take a bathroom break or both!

Until my retirement a few months ago, I was employed by a major pediatric hospital in phila.

OF COURSE, anything related to firearms was verboten, except Pafoa.
I suppose we slipped in "under the wire".

My kid just had a stint in a major pediatric hospital in philly. 2 overnights for observation of a badly broken bone. Kid is fine, but no poofa access on the hospital wifi. Blocked category was "weapons".

Until my retirement a few months ago, I was employed by a major pediatric hospital in phila.
They had a "catchall" regulation against using the computers for anything that wasn't "hospital related".
I suppose that shopping for shoes, dresses, jewelry, travel sites, real estate, etc, etc, etc. (as the nurses and clerks would) IS hospital related.
While "banging" around online, I noticed that many conservative site were BANNED, but the nation on islam (lower case always intentional) wasn't.
One quick call to IT to complain about that site got them banned.
OF COURSE, anything related to firearms was verboten, except Pafoa.

If you use their Network, that included visitors as well. Anything firearms-related, was strictly prohibited.

Hey OP what's the verdict?

[eagleclaw]

I still don't like the last sentence of his post.

Just curious what you guys think about it. I guess it was dumb of me, but this is the bs we have to deal with because of maniacs with AR15's killing people and they throw us into that mix.

A friend of mine used to do IT work for a large corporation. He said that he was amazed at how many people watch porn on their work computer.
