What's the diff btw when you get caught spending an hour on terb vs spending an hour on shopping sites / kijiji / gossip sites?
You have to be kidding! Besides breaching standard professional workplace conduct, browsing an escort review site can be construed as sexual harassment. Let's say a female colleague notices you browsing terb, then files a complaint with HR because she found it offensive and created a hostile work environment for her. This immediately triggers a sexual harassment complaint. Browsing CNN, eBay or kijiji is not going to lead to a sexual harassment complaint.
Your employer has the right to frogmarch you out of the office if you're surfing the internet at work. Doesn't matter if it's your own phone, just like it doesn't matter if it's your own newspaper or novel you're reading at your desk.Yes this holds true for using work reasorces. However nobody has the right to take your phone from you or investigate your phone. Obviously you will not pull terb up when people are looking over your shoulders or can view your screen. It's a shame how much the employees get bullied by employers...little do they know about their rights. How is somebody going to know if I am looking at reviews of my fave MPAs or looking at a recipe to make cupcakes or setting up a date with my sugar baby while on my lunch hour using my own phone?![]()

Inappropriate use of the Internet at work is why I'm now retired. It wasn't porn sites but emails to SP's.
I'm on terb at work all the time ...
oh wait… terb is work![]()
