My hospital has been very lenient about internet usage at work. I always thought it was abused by a lot of people, turning the nurses station into a You Tube party scene. Today one of the supervisors warned that they are going to start monitoring people and they don't want people to use the internet for non work related stuff.
We got an email memo many months ago warning everyone not to go to video or audio streams. It got totally ignored. Apparently it takes up bandwidth on the hospital server? We haven't gotten any recent memos.
They introduced the internet only about 3 years ago at work. At first you had to log in under your own password, but then they made it so you can go on without personally logging in.
So, I heard some big gripping today. It's funny how when you've never had something, you don't miss it, but if you've had it and it gets taken away, you feel persecuted. I think it might improve the work ethic and make a more professional atmosphere at my hospital.
