Had a "chat" with my boss at lunch. He basically said shape up or ship out. I spend far too much time on sites that are "not work related", and he asked what "Newstoday" was.
I was stunned as I am very covert with my viewing but man I am gonna stay away or I WILL get the boot.
He is a cock, but still, getting sacked because of Newstoday... can you imagine.
:/

I've told you once... get some work done!
(d'oh... that must mean I am a cock!)

you need to talk to the nt guy and get him on your side about not tracking your shit.
do like i do. i have only the pbs and pvn viewable in a small window, and never view it on my desktop as an alone app... i always open photoshop or something and have files open to try and mask nt.
your boss sounds like a dick. i'd be out of there anyways. look for a new job and sign his ass up for every free porn subscription site you can. fuck him.
peace.

a good designer is always researching, keeping up with the latest industry standards, looking for new ways to make the clients happy, finding better ways to accomplish daily tasks...
that's my story, anyway.

Had the same chat with my boss :(
I have to be the unluckiest browser around. I work like a madman but when ever my boss comes around i am always either on NT or checking out the sorry state of my bank account.
Just the way I work man, I need the odd break to check out what is going on out there in the real world. Exposé has been a job saver ;)

yeah i'm with blaw, if they tell me to not go on newstoday, i would be like fine, i'll never know ANY FONTS clients ask for.
heh

my boss at my old job told me that as well, aparently clicking refresh in the PVN equals visiting a web page so my boss was like "you are visiting over 800 webpages per day" eek!

If either one of my bosses had a spine I'm sure I'd be in for a "good talkin' to" about how much time I waste.

I have spoken to our IT man, he says that he has not been asked to check web usage/email accounts etc... In that respect I'm fine. It's just the studio I'm in I face a wall and behind me is a glass wall so he can see all if I don't hide all b4 he comes along.
Trust me he ain't a popular boss at the mo - CDx2, Senior, artworker, 2 account handlers, and one of the other designers is off on an interview tonight. All becuase of this bloke (the owner) he is now my new CD and he knows shit about design , but EVERYTHING about marketing clap trap.
I'm outda here as soon as I find a new position...
Will let you know of I succeed before I get the flick.
Oh yeah, he has a history of paying people off if he sacks 'em

easy solution: don't have a boss.

you know.. NT is really responsible for the economic slowdown..
i will explain..
most of us work in the designbiz, a lot of us do commercial/advertising design, we never get our work done well and in time cuz of visiting NT, the companies in need of our work have problems by not getting their ads in the right condition or in time, so they sell less products, which leads to less income, more jobs on the brink, people with less money to spend, that consume less and less.. companies need more public attention in order to sell more, designers are responsible, but no, everyone in the biz is spending time on NT ranting about thongs, saving dogs, GTA, ripoffs and what not..
guys, it is a sad vicious circle.. and we are all in it!
WE ARE RESPONSIBLE!!!
;P
