Does your work Block or Filter Scubaboard?

[CBulla]

The main reason why companies install filters is to help production. The more people are surfing the internet at work the less work they are getting done. After all, you get paid to do a job. My boss has a good way of putting it. His explanation is "We (The company) purchases a block of time from you (the employee) and we want good results of the block of time that we purchase."

Good thing my job is based on network uptime and ensuring that my techs keep desktops and labs running for folks to complete their jobs. 100% uptime on the network for over 365 days now and other than the 30 pc's that lightning smoked back in August, all but 3 of the PC related issues are user instigated (ID10T issues). The other issues are warrantied items. Purchase my block time and thats what you get. In fact, there are things we do that the end user will never see or understand that continue to make our team invaluable... Thats why we're able to negotiate a salary that keeps us on the curve of what CoL is really like here and not 5 years behind.

Bleeding edge industry standards baby!!!

So does your work block or filter any part of Scubaboard?

No, but according to Yakov Smirnoff, in Soviet Russia Scubaboard blocks your work! (It does the same in most other countries too)

Where I work now I am IT. The only time I block anything is if I know something is being done illegally. To date that consisted of blocking p2p programs because we had a webmaster who was downloading mp3's, I really didn't want to deal with the legal ramifications if he got caught so we blocked it. I did run into problems with filtering at two previous jobs. I found SSH port tunneling and an outside proxy server to take care of that problem nicely.

Work from home (Sometimes) so I don't block scubaboard.

If MY boss even suggested filtering or blocking ScubaBoard, I'd fire his sorry derriere... this IS work (well, kind of).

Since I work for myself, and I run the local rural ISP, the answer is a definitive 9xT1 NO!

I don't have any issues accessing SB from work. I work for a research-based company, and wide open web access is very important. Good thing, huh!
