Would you quit your job if they blocked Anandtech.com?

[James Bond]

Not sure if this has been asked before.

I've never had a job where the internet was blocked, but then again, I'm in IT.

So - if you came into work today and Anandtech was blocked, would you quit?

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Absolutely.

What kind of stupid fucking idiot would quit a paying job if they weren't allowed to surf their favorite websites? For fuck sakes, you're there to WORK, not to surf...

The entitlement attitudes of today's youth just astounds me.

 

[pstylesss]

I'd just twiddle my thumbs a lot more and actually look like I'm not working. For all they know right now I'm filling out a trouble ticket.

I concur.

 

[Xavier434]

I wouldn't quit but I would be a lot less happy and unmotivated which typically means the quality of my work would decline.

 

[Mikey]

I would quit Anandtech of they blocked my job!

 

[dabuddha]

uh no.

 

[Foxery]

Quitting is extreme. Don't be foolish. I would, however, die of boredom immediately.

...or suddenly find a stack of new "special projects" on my plate!

 

[KeithTalent]

Nope. In fact I'd probably get a promotion since I'd be much more productive.

Fixed

 

[RandomFool]

I wouldn't quit, I don't post that much when I'm in the office anyway and they'd have a tough time blocking AT when I work from home.

Yeah, I guess so. I was raised that if you're on the payroll, you actually work...if you run out of work, you find something else productive to do. I forgot, today's workers don't believe in actually EARNING their paychecks...

QFT

The first 15+ months at my current company I had access to a very limited selection of sites. Now in this department I have 75% of the internet open. I would never QUIT a job because of it, but I would definitely find myself bored and figure out another site to nef all day .

As of now it might be Myspace since it has YET to be blocked, but most people spend a solid hour+ on it daily... jk about neffing Myspace.

 

[lokiju]

No, I'd just get a iphone.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

proxy?

At an avg daily post count of .68, it's safe to say I can do without AT.

I would say a happy worker is a productive worker, especially with the competition of talent these days. Back then it was hanging out at the water cooler, today it's neffing on forums.

 

[nakedfrog]

Of course not.
Now, TFNN...
