I have two coworkers, one sleeps most of the time at work and the other plays on the internet.  Which one is most likely to be fired? and Why?

Neither, because they are both the managers favorite and they have gotten away with it this long. What kinda High School stuff is this?

You're lucky!\n\nIf one of my employees had a glass of wine at lunch and returned to work I would have no choice but to fire them on the spot.

I think we have all been there.\n\nI have a co-worker that just cannot accept responsibility when she screws up.  It's maddening.\n\nSo.....I went onto MSN and found an article about working with difficult people, it described her to a "T" and I typed up a label and mailed it to her.\n\nShe was furious but it brought the issue into the open as she was trying to find out who did it and therefore we were able to discuss WHY someone would do that.  We also made her "put the shoe on the other foot" and think of how she would feel if she had to work with someone that treated her co-workers the way that she did.\n\nShe's still difficult and a witch most of the time but at least she thinks about her actions a little more.\n\nGood luck, there's one at every workplace.

I seriously anyone could be fired for using a Q&A service.. Unless they're doing it at work. Like me... I just seriously doubt... Sorry, had to switch windows so the boss didn't see... Anyways, I seriously doubt that... What Mr. Reinstein? Clear out my desk? But I... Okay then.\n\nShort answer: Yes.      - Know anyone who's hiring a computer tech?

Set the mf up.  Make up something outrageous and when your boss asks you about it just laugh it off.  Keep doing that and he/she will either stop or get fired.

I used to work for a person like this.  You can prepare all the e-mails and action lists you want, but it's very difficult to get the person to read them and make decisions.\n\nMy recommendation is to try and schedule time with this person, AWAY from his desk (so you'll get his full attention) and let him know that the office help position needs to be replaced.  Try to give concrete examples of the times that projects have fallen through the cracks due to lack of support and project management.  We all know it's HIS lack of project management, but you might use the passive voice here to avoid offending him.\n\nNext you need to make up an action plan with him, on how he wishes to handle situations like that in the future. This way, you will not be blamed for mishandling things if you're following what you both agreed to.  Try to write up a summary of what you decide at this meeting (bulleted, keep it brief!) so you can refer to it later if necessary, and give him a copy.  Unfortunately, it is very unlikely this person will become organized in your lifetime, and if you can help bring a little structure and order to his office, he may appreciate you more than you know.  Just talk to him to find out how you can be a better employee.  This will guarantee your job, since you're showing a good "problem-solver" attitude instead of complaining.  Good luck with this, I know it's difficult to work in this environment!

Yeah, with how highly strung the work force is now a days,  they will probably be some humourless emotionally beaten old woman in the corner cubicle ready to scream SEXUAL HARRASMENT, which i'snt going to be a great thing for you.  My advice for the future...  if your going to do something like this again... do it on a Friday... because most people have a condition called DIGAFOF (Do I give a .... on fridays?) and might find it funny as inteded. As for cover ups... thought about calling in to work until Friday?

that will probably get you fired, you're taking potential work away from your boss and the crews that work for him, not a good move

Every time you visit a webpage there is actually a complex bit of connection negotiating that happens. The short version is you send a request, then there is a reply. \n\nThe request does not go directly to the website, just as your phone call does not go directly to your best friend's phone. It has to "route" through your phone company and then your friend's phone company.\n\nYour Internet connection works much the same way. You have an Internet company that is your employer's IT department. They can see your connections to other websites, which have hosting providers.\n\nAlso, almost all companies have remote administration and management software. I regularly control remote users PCs when they have troubleshooting that needs done. This same software can be used or modified to monitor users remotely. Your IT department may indicate they have to have your request first, but that is only because of policy, not because they cannot configure the software to do so.\n\nAs far as "stopping" goes, you can learn about using proxies, but as an IT person myself, I would highly suggest just asking your supervisor which websites he/she found offensive and no longer visiting them. You are there to work and get paid, aren't you?\n\nKeep in mind that even if you use proxies or a method of hiding where you are actually going, there is always still a way to find out, it just depends on how much work your IT department wants to go through. Even secure connections can be faked through something call a "man-in-the-middle" attack, which your IT department is in a very good location to perform. If you are at all concerned about your IT department's ability to monitor you, do not use your banking websites or view any websites you would not want your boss to know about.\n\nMost companies have a somewhat liberal policy on visiting websites and/or block websites that are already problems, like YouTube, MySpace, and others. If your employer doesn't meet your expectations for reasonable Internet use, find another one that does.

You can report your suspicions by filling out the form linked below. Before you do so, be ABSOLUTELY SURE that your facts are straight. Your coworker may just be blowing smoke!

Now start taking rest. Whatever work is done by your co-workers, that be informed to your boss as your own. For that just keep watch over what wxactly is being done by your co-workers.\n\nOtherwise, whatever you do, don't make any inkling to your co-workers and even before completion of the work, just inform your boss that so and so work is in hand, which is likely to be completed within ......... minutes or hours. So that your co-workers may not get opportunity to mis-report to your boss.

Production vs Entertainment... what you're doing in your office? if there is a proxy server installed into the internet's access is because the policy of the internet usage on the company limit the internet access just for productivity websites.  If you go to another websites using a proxy your IT will discover you and you can get fired.  Be careful, if you want to navigate to any place just wait to be on your home and do it with your computer.

He might have personal problems like some mental illness maybe? You should ask him what the problem is before you fire him.

get his screen name, they will fire him faster than he can drop his jaw...I've worked for large ISP's, they don't play.  They can and do get canned even if they lookup their own accounts!
