With the economy the way it is today, people need to be more productive. Back in the day, you used to be able to slack off and no one said anything. I used to work with a guy that would go off and get ice cream during the day (off site). People felt that they had job security. Now it is different. Businesses are cracking down on employee productivity. They are slimming their workforce. Doing more with less people. So if you are caught playing games (like farmville) at the office and there are other issues with your productivity, you might find yourself out of a job. And believe me you do not want go out there looking for a job now. It is scary! I am sure everyone knows someone looking for a job right now.

I just signed up to your blogs rss feed. Will you post more on this subject?
Great article Julie! To give another example of why casual internet use is a no-no at work, the medical billing company I used to work for would regularly host externs from the nearby technical school. One of them was so desperate to leave us that she job-hunted on the internet during working hours! Needless to say, she didn’t finish her externship with us (which undoubtedly hindered her job search.)
Be thankful you have a job and don’t jeopardize it! Even if you work for yourself, your clients will not thank you if you say you’re to busy to meet with them after they’ve seen your Farkle updates.
Yes it would be very sad to loose your job because you were determined to have someone send you a pig for your farm!
