Jonathan writes: The other day I walked past a colleague’s desk and noticed he was surfing porn sites — at the office! Apart from our firm’s technology use policy, this is unacceptable behaviour. Shouldn’t he leave the porn-surfing at home?
Miss Rhylla says: I suggest getting the IT guys to rig up some software enabling the contents of your esteemed colleague’s computer to be tracked and perhaps screened at the next all staff meeting.And then have him walked from the building.
Steven says: I desperately want to find some way to say what the guy was doing was okay, just because I’m contrary and I think there’s too much reaction to porn, but I can’t, I just can’t.
No one should be surfing porn at the office. More than anything, it reveals you to be too stupid to hold a job. I like Miss Rhylla’s idea, although — and you saw what he was surfing, so you might know — if he gets off on public humiliation, it might be just what he was after.

What this guy was doing was showing a healthy regard for the female form in its most natural state. Whether he does this in the prvacy of his own bedroom or in the work place is not the issue. This Jonathan guy should have reported it to his manager or at the very least had a word with the bloke to say he had been rumbled and not to do it again. You just don’t walk on past these things in any ethical office environment as this sounds out the message to the perps that it is OK to behave like this.

Great comment. Actually I did discuss this with the co-worker. They did not respond well, so I reported this to my manager, who also happens to be HR.

Well done Jonathan! I especially liked that you had the courage to take a stand and say something face to face.
