ABSA and UEC have also blocked facebook. If employees are not monitored they can and will end up spending hours on facebook to the detriment of work productivity.

Apparently some parts of Media24 have a one hour per day limit on facebook. Now that is a smart way to use technology to give people what they want but still keep limits on what they can do.

wouldn't just be easier giving everything away to some people? since you sharing everything on FB anyway making easier for id theft, why bother locking your dors etc then?

Wasting time?

 

[damian24]

could someone pop a quick poll on here, I'm in two minds about how much access to provide people with. I use FB myself, but only from home.

What would be interesting to see it whether it's allowed and if so when, office hours, outside?
