Internet use while working

Retired, but still getting disciplinary warnings when I should be doing something else.

I work in a bike shop and my internet use isn't restricted, I look up bike specs, products and accesories and consider it "working" .
I use google quite a lot, if we're having a conversation about something and I want an example or if somebody mentions an actor I don't know. I looked up why money spiders are called that the other day. Obviously I don't do it while there are customers in the shop, and I wouldn't post on here because I'd become too distracted.
I'm only on line during the day on a tuesday because it's my day off.
Other than that it's early morning or evenings.

I browse, and post, here and other places whilst at work.
Once I've backed onto the bay, it's my time until the trailer it tipped.
The device of choice is my phone. Some of the chaps carry a tablet or laptop..

No internet access and no pc access at work unless you need it for work and even if you have a lot of pages are blocked by the company protocols, heck your not even supposed to have your phone on you during production hours as our work is timed down to the second.

I only post in the day if i am on night shift .

Work for myself from home, I'm my own boss, well that is until my better half comes home..

I am the big Chief here and I can do want I want.

We have Internet access in the workshops and there's never been any restriction...or anywhere else on site AFAIK.
It's used sensibly for personal use, CC, BBC news, maybe a tiny bit of ebay and precious little else.
TBH, I don't have that much time for personal access so it's pretty minimal anyway.

Internet for work only, I'm not at work today

One of the lads that works for me is always checking emails, instagram, Facebook etc

I have a little word with him from time to time but I can do no more.

He gets his work emails on his phone and as from next month all his holiday stuff gets done electronically. Work is now using his phone, so I don't feel I can shout at him for using his phone in work for his own stuff.

More than two a day? What are you like?

 

[Lonestar]

Nope , rarely check the internet when at work and I don't spend all day staring at my phone...

 

[subaqua]

I post while waiting for slow servers used for work process ( not works servers) to process the remote requests .

I notice that many members regularly post throughout the day. Are these mainly retired or not working or are employers more understanding about internet use in work these days? When I was last an employee back in the last century, internet personal use in work was a disciplinary offence.[/QUOTE]

Or other really obvious things? I've never posted any CC posts actually at work on a work device.

The last six years I've worked very antisocial hour shifts either early mornings, with a lot of weekend working or now evenings. I did have 2.5 years unemployed whilst CC's been going, but the vast majority working. Other people on here that are very much the same.

Self employed with irregular hours so I get days where I can spend most of them at home.
