Not sure if you are referring to me here, but I do not search the internet discreetly at work. I do it right out in the open, as does everybody else on the trading floor, sports sites and other things like that, it is totally fine. The problem comes in when there is what you referred to as a provocative image on the screen. I am not upset with that, I am fine with that, but it puts the company at risk that someone will sue the company for this, and this does happen in real life all the time. That is why companies have a stance that this is grounds for dismissal.
Really not so sure what is so hard to understand about this. I guess blocking images would be a potential fix for this for me at work. Although by the same token, I think it is really odd that there are people on here that have a problem with not posting sexually oriented pictures on a Bears website. Kind of weird to me.
