Banning Facebook from the Workplace

Banning Facebook and similar sites in the workplace is a bad idea, says John Wood, spokesman for Britain's Trades Union Congress (TUC). Setting policies or guidelines are a better way to go.http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9033820&pageNumber=2

I believe that this is a good thing. Employers shouldn't be paying their employees to be surfing the internet, chatting, playing games, etc. I believe that blocking sites like facebook or myspace will increase the productivity of the company, because more work is being done and less time is being wasted. If people want to play on websites or surf the web they should do it on their own time or go work for a company that hires people where their only responsiblity is to surf the web and chat online.
