City of Toledo officials say Scott Leo got his engineering work done on time, so they paid little attention to exactly what he was doing on the computer.

Mr. Leo, operating with an Internet identity he called "Sassy Sarah," was using his city computer to access an online discussion group hosted by sportswrath.com - apparently hundreds of times a day.

Sassy Sarah's frequent appearance in online discussions during work hours was brought to city officials' attention Dec. 27 by a citizen who said he was irritated by the apparent misuse of taxpayers' computers and work time.

Since then, city officials have determined that the Web site was accessed 19,200 times between Aug. 18 and Nov. 2 - all from three computers in Mr. Leo's work area, and all with a password that was assigned to him.

A lot of pages can appear to have 200+ hits in one load from a firewall's standpoint. (images, dynamic content)
 
That is rediculous. Instead of firing him, they simply should have put in a web filtering appliance/server and blocked that category of pages. It would have been more cost effective than a termination, and productivity would have increased across the board.
 
Guy must have some problems if he's active on a sports forum with a nick like Sassy Sarah.
 
The guy had the talent to finish all of his work and nef 200k times in a four month period and you FIRE him. He'll i'd promote him and give him a lot more work to do.

His boss, logged in as "Lucky Charms", continually had flame wars with Sassy Sarah on the same board, until one day the guy accidentally revealed where he worked.

See, the problem here is that you guys make sense, and have good solutions, the government doesn't deal with such nonsense.

Classic 😀
 
Man, if he's doing his work on time then WTF! Let him nef if his work is done!

It's better than those lazy ass construction workers who arbitrarily close off highway lanes just to stand around and talk while their budgets baloon because of delays. I don't see anybody firing them!

 
Why the hell did he take a female persona?

And it's pathetic that that 'citizen' felt he needed to rat on the guy.
