Fired for web browsing

There is a news about an employee getting fired due to excessive web browsing. Web browsing at work which is not related to the work is really waste of employer's time. With this thought the concept of earning your pay check concept comes to mind again. If we are browsing other than work in office hours then it is just entertainment and that is not what we get paid for.

Main point is that the employee who got fired was having so much time to browse wed sites. Either this means he was not having work or he was not doing his assigned work.

When it comes to our own browsing habits, as soon as we find ourselves browsing anything un-related to work it is time to note that we don't have work assigned to us or we are just not doing the work assigned to us. Both things are bad for us. I agree to one of my friend commenting on browsing habits of software engineers as a royal hideout to run away from the real world.

While browsing the internet as you can control what you want to see you never get bored. It remains interesting all the time and you can kill as much time as you can on internet. It is like a cyber dungeon which can keep you feel you are doing very important things when it actually is just killing your time.
