51. Some employers are tolerant of letting their employees look at social media sites.

For instance, I was with a state agency and we were allowed permission to be on the Internet. The only filters were specifically on pornographic or terroristic Websites. Employees are supposed to use discretion as to what Websites they visit, but were allowed to spend a reasonable amount of time on the Internet as long as their work was accomplished. Due to the specific circumstances of that job, there were various times when I had no tasks to accomplish while at work. It's one of the privileges allowed as a salaried employee since those people are frequently required to work overtime without compensation when the job demands increased. The employers realize that having a liberal policy towards using the Internet improves productivity; keeps employees from slipping away from work early by using Websites for shopping purposes; and allows employees to contact family members in an emergency--although I doubt DUMail would be used in that instance. The agency I worked for even allowed instant messaging on their computers.

Using the Internet doesn't necessarily mean that an employee is going to get nailed at work. However, having nudity displayed on a monitor screen can since anyone (customer, client or employee) could walk by and be offended by what is shown.
