Ricey Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I think this goes a long way to evidencing just how demotivated I am in work at the mo.............I've managed to get the 350z-uk site added to the companies banned list!!!!!!!!!!! Bearing in mind the group has about 30000 employees globally thats a proper achievement. Christ knows how many hours I've racked up but it must of been pretty substantial to get a global ban Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 for getting to the top of the list....... for not being able to "surf the 350z-uk forum while you work" I would talk to the I.T bods nicely and they may know a back door Quote

If you can't beat em then I suppose you might as well become a soul-less ape who starts using phrases from the Ladybird book of middle management like- - isolated incident (cocked up once) - systemic issue (cocked up all over the place) - can you liaise with (talk to) - we'll park that one (we don't know the answer and we're not likely to in the near future) - lets put that in the fridge (we don't know the answer and we never will - just forget about it) - put a backstop in place (we keep fooking up MAKE IT STOP NOW!) - the deliverable hasn't been implemented (you didn't do what we asked you....ooooooo I'm not happy) - cost benefit analysis proved to be excessive (its too frigging expensive - find something cheaper that won't work as well) - we're putting you an a personal improvement plan - PIP (your 1 fookup away from getting sacked meladdo - pull your socks up!!) - the RAG status is telling us (oooooooo look how much red we've got - we're definitely fooked) - the 'dashboard' is identifying systemic issues (fookedfookedfooked - regulators going to fine us to oblivion) - working lunch (working but with food - your not getting a lunch and no.....I don't give a blue **** if its illegal or not) ad infinitum...........

Will370z Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Funny you should mention this, I normally log on to the zed forum at lunch times at work, but found on wednesday the site had also been banned for me too it must be a conspiracy. Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Site works fine for me.... maybe because I have my own HUB at work Quote

Either that or we work for different parts of the same organisation........the company I'm employed by actually have very little to do with the company I work for (i.e they're an outsourcing company - provide the systems, payroll, HR, buildings but don't get involved in the day to day running).

I work for a very security conscious IT consultancy so I'm not surprised. Shame though I enjoyed the reads at lunchtime. Quote
chippy Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I feel your pain, I've been banned too hence the reason I haven't been about much recently We've only got 200,000 staff though! Quote

GT4 Zed Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Use a web based proxy server job done +1 but those IT b%@tards catch up all the time and i'm running out of proxies Quote

Before I started work I thought that this type of stuff was just a joke, I've unfortunately realised since though that everyone speaks like that. I reckon the worst is when an "opportunity" arises (there's a problem/issue, we don't want to admit it though but we still need to fix it). Drives me crazy sometimes. I can't see my company blocking the forum anytime soon - they would have done so already. I only occasionally check the forum at lunchtimes but I work with Husky so there's probably been a fair few hours logged on here from our work site! Quote
SunGodRA Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Use a web based proxy server job done +1 but those IT b%@tards catch up all the time and i'm running out of proxies If the company is that big they will have a decent firewall with a known list of proxy servers - practically impossible to bypass - however what you could to is leave your home PC on and run a remote desktop connection to it - then browse to your hearts content!

jerry3167 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Aparently, millions of hours are lost every year from employers, as their workforce surfs the net while at work Quote

S**t mate I don't even want to know!!! considering they can't even get their finger out to do simple tasks I don't think our IT dept are taking the time to go round banning sites. If they do ban it i will cry then take my HTC out of my pocket and continue Quote
AndWood Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I also found out that this site is banned at my work this week it seems strange that 3 company's proxy servers have blocked the site at around the same time seems a bit too much of a coincidence Quote

Ricey Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 I think they may of actually banned the word 'forum' in a URL.......I can get onto the 350z site......but as soon as I click forum it blocks it Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 maybe its the pictures of semi naked fat chics that have got the site banned Quote
andlid Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Don't try and get around the proxy with a web-proxy... read your internet useage policy and make sure you don't do a sackable offence Don't forget the 4D's 1.Delete it 2.Do it 3.Delegate it 4.Defer it Quote
