Stuff your work has banned..

[Godders]

My work has banned listening to MP3's or non work net usage recently.

I now have to amuse myself by plotting peoples demise.

What wank stuff has your work banned?

[MMAlien]

cleaning the dissabled peoples ass with sand paper!

[ReD_mIst]

Working from home is cool :)

[Godders]

I worked from home for years.
Biggest problem I had is that I ended up working all the time. I.e. rather than 9-5 work. It was like 10-12 work 12-2 fart about 3-6 work 6-8 simpsons 8-10 work etc etc

Although I didn't work a Friday for 3 years lol

[ReD_mIst]

That's pretty much how I work.

[Nimmy]

my MD banned me from using Yahoo and now i have to use Google

[Duchman]

i work under my home.. i teach private classes and semi private.... i love it... i hate office jobs.

teaching docters, police officers etc..... all good money

[Darkside]

try this site from work, thats if you didnt already know.

http://www.hidemyass.com/

They banned loades of stuff at work with me...but if i use this site i can go on any website i want...Bargain!

[ReD_mIst]

yes, but at the same time you get hit with malware, trojans and zombie bots..... not worth the risk really

[DetoxGuru.com]

Anything Goes At My Work Including Getting Blown By A Fit Honey Whilst Packing Orders And Stuff, Its Almost Obligatory !!

[Emmet J]

I got banned from looking at Cagewarriors at work about a year and a half ago.

[Xanthic]

Here we go....

Pens, paper, MP3 players, drinks other than water, 'open' cups, newspapers, magazines, books (basically any sort of reading material that isnt deemed 'work related'), phones and possibly a few more I've missed.

Although saying that, all the above is banned but only I noticed that someone was walking round wearing a Confederate Flag on his top...

And this is while we're at our desks, you can do all the above when away from it on breaks/lunch.

[Darkside]

ive been using this site at work now for 2 years and never had any risks as you mentioned and spyware and that...i must be lucky i guess!!! :)

[dunny]

recently we've been banned from smoking at the front of the building, not that i smoke so im not really bothered. been banned from the internet completely, even work related, so why even have it? had milk usage limited, again i didnt use that much but i still think its petty. a lad got done yesterday for wearing shorts even though all the girls had shorts and skirts on. its bollocks really, but luckily hardly any of it affects me

[daspecimen]

youtube i know is banned, so is any sort of embedded video.

heard myspace and facebook are too, but i don't use them at work so it don't bother me

[Defekt]

at my place they have banned facebook, myspace, hotmail and youtube.
They also hate us having anysort of food and drinks in the open.
Smoking has been moved to outside of the premises.
Milk and fruit juice is limited, tea and toilet breaks are kept an eye on.

How do you know you haven't been infected?

[ReD_mIst]

.............only I noticed that someone was walking round wearing a Confederate Flag on his top....

Er... what's up with that?

[ReD_mIst]

That's the law....

[John Hopton]

Since moving to a new building we have been asked not to walk up and down the stairs carrying liquids unless it's in a closed container.....to avoid spillages which people might slip on. Fair enough really but why did no-one think about it before?

[2t2t]

my work has banned kettles (health and safety) and metal paper clips. In case im that much of a muppet to embed in my hand. Oh and A3 Paper, We have to save the trees.

I'm always amused when people in offices go on about cutting paper usage to save rain forests. Unless I'm very much mistaken, paper is made from commercially planted and managed softwood forests; while most of the woods in rainforests are from hardwood trees which take many decades to grow to maturity

[ralphylad]

Myspace is banned, this site is banned, UFC is banned; Facebook isnt because its used corporately but usage is moitored.

[Al Wallace]

My work ain't banned shit! Wahoooooooooooooo!

[Fightshop.Com]

Jesus ! I am genuinely amazed at what stuff employers have banned. Why ? I can possibly understand some of the IT stuff from a security point of view but bloody hell the stuff that been banned is daft. Why are staff not judged simply on their output/results. i.e. if you can achieve the required results/targets/performance etc whilst surfing the net, listening to MP3s, and watching UFC then more power to you. In fact I would be targeting such a person for promotion to a more challenging job.

My job application is in the post mate

[Xanthic]

Er... what's up with that?

We dont have a dress code where I work... he came in with it on and I dont mean a patch or a small picture, the flag was the top. A top with the confederate flag on.

I think he told the supervisor that it was a biker thing... dont think he ended up taking it off. It's amazing that no-one noticed it till I said something, only then did people start saying "that's not right" blah blah... more like they were too dumb to know what it was.

[Freestyler]

We dont have internet at work, and not much is banned coz we dont really get the time to do anything except run around after starving customers!!

[Freestyler]

Here we go....

Pens, paper,

What type of job do you do that bans pens an paper???

[mooron]

My work has banned us( the maintenance dept) from entering the robot cells at work after my mate nearly got killed after a robot put a 10 p hole in his throat when it hit him.

Lad thought it had finished cycle but it hadn't and it smacked him in the throat with a steel piston, nicking his artery.

2 hours in theatre , hes alive but has fucked his arm up proper:(

[Xanthic]

What type of job do you do that bans pens an paper???

Ticketmaster... it's to stop down on fraud! We also have 2 small globe cameras every 5 metres or so to watch over peoples workstations...

[iandean]

When i worked for the Citizens Advice Bureau they banned people using their own mugs and limited Tea and Coffee making cos of heath and safety. It nearly caused the older members of the Bureau to riot

We were also banned from doing anything to the PC's if they broke or wouldn't work (had to phone the IT guy for everything. Not phone Mobiles, we weren't allowed to change light bulbs or stand on a chair or table to reach anything. We also couldn't see people after midday, even though the youth section i worked for had a full day drop in service.

[TheUnfitOne]

Sounds crazy !, me and my boss spent most of Friday shopping for Khat online and sex toys for our wives.

I love my new job

lol

You come across so reserved then outta nowhere you land a home run and surprise everyone. Like the time you started banging out Ratpack on the way to pick up that german dude at B'Ham airport

[TheUnfitOne]

Mate I've got some awesome live sets from Chris Paul at Camden Palace circa 91/92 in my car at the moment, remind me to burn them for you at the next CW show, they are the tits !

[dunny]

oh yeah, as mentioned, im not allowed to change a light bulb either, have to get someone in to do it, despite being tall enough to reach without standing on anything. i was genuinely confused when they told me this, then when i asked forit to be changed, got told it would be about a month before he came

Why dont someone just do a site specfic Risk Assessment? So much easier and can save a lot of time and money in the end, believe me I know, at the last count (2 weeks ago) we had 70 seperate RA's!!!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
