That leads me to believe your company monitors its employees phone calls, which may or may not be legal. I mean look at the list of stuff you say they "allow" and stuff they don't. Porn and P2P is a quite obvious no-no at work, but MySpace? IM? All the stuff that's easy to monitor they allow.
Companies can monitor any employee's phone calls. Actually, our company encourages employees, since we all work 10-12 hours a day/5 days a week, to play a video game, log into MySpace, chat over IM, watch YouTube, etc. to relieve stress. We don't monitor phone calls either. We do see if people are making LD calls (but with everyone walking around with a cellphone no problems). Employees are trusted so never seen a problem personally. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17471998 Sat, 16 Dec 2006 20:56:09 EDT Re: . http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17471953 Michieru2 : To add to your post.

"It's their phone system and if they choose to monitor you, tough nuts"

And people wonder why everyone hates the megacorps. It's because of attitudes like that, attitudes that treat employees as disposable workers. That's the major problem of all the neo-con capitalists. They've all lost their humanity. I work for a smaller company, that DOESN'T monitor it's employees. We can shop, do banking, etc, all in work time. What matters to the company is that WE DO OUR JOBS. We are measured based on results, not on if there's a warm body sitting at a desk. I allow my staff absolute freedom to do what they want to do. All I ask is that they complete their tasks in a timely manner.
And without the neo-con capitalists you crap on how good would the business world be? While you are trying to make this political let me ask you this, is it just neo-con capitalists in charge of corporations? What about neo-libs in charge of corporations? Or are all the neo-libs just poor black men from the south who have nothing at all and live paycheck to paycheck? I'll answer that one for you, NOT. If you don't like the idea of your phone being monitored don't work for that company. But of course you won't do that. It's way too easy to whine from behind a keyboard then it is to actually change what you don't like in your life. You whine about neo-caps but you'll take their money anyday, damned hypocrite.

It's well established: It's their phone system and if they choose to monitor you, tough nuts. Why do you think that you get that warning about your calls may be monitored for "training purposes" whenever you call a major corporation? Why do you think CS reps just sit and spout the corporate line? Because they are being monitored and they know it. All your employer has to do is let it be known they are monitoring you, just like they do on the computer that THEY own, on the network THEY own.

Bottom line is that if you want privacy, use your own cellphone or computer, not the companies.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17470470 Sat, 16 Dec 2006 15:27:09 EDT Re: . http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17470286 matrix3D : That leads me to believe your company monitors its employees phone calls, which may or may not be legal.

It's not just to make it easy to setup and run without having to be some firewall wizz, it's also about bypassing access.
And if you are running a business, you don't want your employees bypassing firewalls, for security reasons, and other reasons too. Later, we will read where Skype wonders why the business world shuns their product. Well, this is why - encouraging users to bypass legitimate firewalls.
Our company is putting in a policy on Jan. 1st that if you use Skype, look for another job. They don't care about using email, MySpace, or even IMs but Skype (they don't allow any VOIP), porn and P2P (Torrents) will get you fired.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17469942 Sat, 16 Dec 2006 13:31:34 EDT Re: . http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17469665 TKJunkMail :

From what I heard they are doing it in Europe and other countries in Asia as well.

Skype wants people across the globe to use there services and by that this is there way at fighting back at those who choose to block them.
