Has bluray.com ever got you into trouble?? - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-Benny · 12-11-2008, 02:26 PM

Just curious if anyone has been surfing the threads while @ work and got caught??

I had an instance a couple of weeks ago where a supervisor caught me surfing while working.

It's against company policy to be using the internet for something other than work but my job is so boring and I meet all of my #'s with ease so it's hard to stay away.

I escaped but was curious if your obsession for bluray info has gotten you into trouble before??

I've had to explain a couple of posts to my girlfriend before because they were misunderstood and explained without the entire context being stated to her. Other then that, my nominal boss at work knows I surf the web, but ONLY when there's absolutely no work to do. If I've got something to be doing, I'm doing it.

Moefiz · 12-11-2008, 02:33 PM

At work so far no.I do surf a lot when I am at work only because sometime its
so dead here.I need something to do.

At home got in trouble with the wife..for spending way too much time on Blu-ray.com during the format war.

Blu-Benny · 12-11-2008, 02:37 PM

i do surf while @ work. the reason why i do is because our production expectation is 80%, i'm @ 120%. our quality expectation is 92%, i'm @ 98%.

so it's not like i'm not doing my work, i just do it too well i guess. i have gotten yelled @ by the wife too on several occasions.

I am on here much more at work than at home but luckily I have not got in trouble for it!

atomik kinder · 12-11-2008, 02:52 PM

Not yet, but when I have people behind me doing puzzles on their computers, I don't think I have anything to worry about until I fall behind. Hasn't happened yet.

It's definitely taking time away from work

Yes by banning me for unfair reasons. But feel free to not believe me.

fatediesel · 12-11-2008, 05:07 PM

My computer does not face my office door so I've never been caught doing anything wrong on my computer. Also, my office is at the end of a hall so I can hear people coming and pull up a spreadsheet so it looks like I'm working.

It's actually held up in court in a wrongful termination suit that if you have completed all your required tasks, then surfing the internet at work is an acceptable way to pass the time.

(FYI, I am not advocating testing the limits)

i wouldn't dream of testing the limits!!

i stay on here all day and check 2 or 3 other sites a couple times just to stay up on my movie news.

I don't get caught at work, but I get yelled at a lot at home for being on blu-ray.com too much-- apparently I could be spending my time being more productive, like doing homework or studying... but who does that?

tommyboy81 · 12-11-2008, 07:29 PM

never got in trouble at work. Nervous that the Warehouse monitors what we do.

I think the OP was referring to "The Real World" outside of the forum......

r u still drinking man?? not only am i impressed you use words like that drunk but that u can actually spell them too!!! i'm lucky if my words all run together while drinking!!

dk3dknight · 12-11-2008, 09:53 PM

not too much, my supervisor knows, hes trying to find a new job though.

Im paid minimum wage for a job that should not pay minimum wage, my boss knows it, my supervisor knows it, so they just let me go as long as I get the work done.

They also know 1/2 the stuff that lets this place function is because Im here, no one bothered to learn how to keep very important things working.
