I would understand that if he was using messenger all day and not doing jack, but as a normal user (which I’m guessing he is) using messenger is like talking to your co-workers. What now your going to pass a "not talking" during work hours rule? What really matters is if you do your job or not. Who cares if you talk on the phone or through the net. Did you get your job done? Well that’s what you’re paid for. Your not paid to be a slave. |
I'm a normal user and I do my job. I put in 60-80 hour work weeks on monthly salary with no overtime. If anything the company owes me. I just don't like the fact that work feels the need to know what I'm chatting about. The example of talking to your co-workers is a perfect example. They're going to start putting in recorders and record ppl's conversations while they are at work?
Back to the topic at hand. Would it be sufficient if I make entries in my hosts file to point to the original IPs for the different messenger servers thus bypassing my company's DNS servers and resolving it directly. This along with the use of a proxy, would it be enough to keep my IMs from prying eyes?
