Visiting Porn Sites While at Work is on the Rise

Here is some world news for you… the amount of employees visiting porn sites while at work is rapidly rising.

What’s driving workers to get their kicks on company time? It’s one more thing we can pin on the slow economy. “People are looking for an escape,” says Steve Hirsch, CEO of Vivid Entertainment Group, an adult online-video provider. And rightly or wrongly, they think their bosses are too busy to notice, says Dawn Adams, CEO of Wisconsin consulting firm HResults. “Managers are dealing with so many issues right now,” she says, “that sometimes people are able to hide out and no one knows what they’re doing.” AVN’s McMahon attributes the rise in workplace porn to the proliferation of free Web sites, such as xtube.com, that allow users to quickly log on and off. But a larger factor is the evolving sense—not universally shared—that porn is no big deal. “You’re looking at a younger consumer who has grown up with pornography being out there in the pop culture,” McMahon says.

Needless to say, I must advise you to stay away from the porn sites while at work.  We all visit them (some more than others) but it is not something you want to be known for.  It is too easy to get side tracked and forget to close a window.

There are actually stories of guys being fired for viewing porn at work.  Imagine the walk of shame these guys have to take out of the office.

Some can’t seem to stay away from it. Earlier this year, nine Washington, D.C., city employees—including at least one from Child and Family Services—were fired for viewing porn sites thousands of times while on the job. The worst offender reportedly logged an average of one hit every 2.5 minutes.

If you must occupy your time at work, use it productively by creating a profile, surfing online dating sites, and lining yourself up some hotties.
