How ironic. I almost applied for the Deputy Fire Marshall position for the city of Bozeman. Good thing I didn't.

As an employer I would absolutely ban the use of the internet during work hours. There are far too many people surfing the web posting on sites like Facebook, SVT Performance, etc... and being very unproductive.
This is no different than stealing from your employer.
Maybe this is an attempt to be able to track an employees habits.
I in no way agree with what that city is trying to do and do believe it is an invasion of privacy.
hahahaha.
Though when I applied for my current job I made my myspace private till after I was hired...

My myspace and facebook are private all the time for this reason.
Have you ever worked a salaried position?
Marketing manager for a fortune 500 company, so yes I have.
If an employee is earning a Salary as opposed to an hourly wage, they are being paid to get the job done, regardless of how many hours it takes them to do it.
You are getting paid to get the job done in a "timely" fashion, and then on to the next assignment/project. "Time is money"
If an employees internet habits slow the network down and hinder the ability for a fellow employee to do their job, then that employees internet privileges need to be revoked.
It's not "if" it DEFINATELY slows the work process down, who gives a shit about the network. There is absolutely no need for an employee to be performing any sort of personal tasks on company time. That's what breaks are for right? If the internet wasn't being abused the network overload as you put it would be a non issue.
Again, "Time is money".
Regardless of how unproductive a salaried employee may appear to be, if the job gets done without limiting the ability for other employees to get their job done too, then you're not stealing from the company.
Wrong. Unproductivness = wasted money = stealing. You are being paid a wage to perform your job that you are being compensated for..PERIOD. Your coworkers are also being paid to perform their jobs.

Are you a smoker? How about the smoker vs. non smoker? the guy or girl that goes outside to smoke every 1 hour or so. While the non smoker continues working? What's the difference? Like I said, it is a waste of company money and should not be tolerated.
Many Fire Dept and Police Dept require you to give usernames and passwords to any and all social sites as well. Its getting more and more popular
Before you go ranting opinions that do not apply to everyone here, you might want to attempt to understand that every company's internet usage policy is going to be different than the one for the company you work for. :read:
