Woof Activity - I blame Daniel Andrews

Re: Woof Activity - I blame Daniel Andrews

You know WOOF was partly the reason I lost a former job. Unbeknown to the open plan office, the Directors of a former company were keeping tabs of peoples internet use across the floor. Most were using Facebook of course, many were just keeping it open all day, same with eBay. My usage was 83% WOOF, 7% eBay and the rest was miscellaneous browsing. Apparently my utilisation was down and my time on WOOF up by 29% across last year's (Griffon / Boyd) trade period.

So now there is only one boss who has an issue with my time on WOOF because I work from home

A former employer of mine tried that one on me. However, I'm a web developer, so not only do I visit hundreds of sites a day in my legitimate work, I found out about the tracking and wrote a few scripts to ensure that traffic went through the roof. They would've had design and development sites listed in the thousands every day to sort through.

Is that actually legal. I'm not an expert on the area but I though you had to sign some sort of document acknowledging you'd be monitored, especially if that's that their reason for dismissing you.

Your Boss was obviously a disgruntled GWS supporter.
