Do you log on social websites at work? Beware coz some companies in the UK imposed a ban on social websites like face book, and Myspace at work places.

Of course bosses aim for more work, but would the ban fulfill this aim?

when people are at work, and they're looking for distractions, i think nothing will prevent them from finding a way to distract themselves..

if it's not facebook, it'll be another internet site or something that doesn't have to do anything with the computer...

however, for someone who doesn't want to earn haram money, i think the time he spends on the internet should be made up at the end of his working day

I think employees have the right to take a "controlled break". This means that the boss puts the guidelines of the break rather than imposing a complete ban.

I think any boss have the right to ban what he percieves a distraction to the employees.

As a boss you will not sit beside each employee to make sure that he/she only uses social websites during the break!
