The always funny and insightful Laurie Ruettimann AKA Punk Rock HR and I are having a slight disagreement regarding internet use at work. Laurie was blogging about Signs You Need to Start Your Job Search. Basically Laurie is saying never stop looking. I couldn’t agree more – network, grow or die. However she ended her post with “This is the sign you’ve been waiting for, yo. Start your job search today. Look for a job from the comfort of your warm cubicle with free, company-sponsored high-speed internet and your cushy Aeron® chair.” Here is where I disagree. My response “Agreed except for the part of doing it from your cubicle/office over company internet. While you have those things sure, but not on or with company property. Never know who in IT or otherwise is watching.”

This of course lead to Laurie’s latest blog post Using The Internets on Company Time in it she asks HR professionals and Managerial types if you have or would fire an employee for browsing Monster.com at work. For me it is simple, your company most likely has a policy against it, you are most likely an employee at will and Job Hunters are not a protected class. Don’t do it at work.

What do you all think, post here or there.
