People who close their browsers quickly
Sometimes as I'm walking back to my desk, people will hear me coming and as I walk by I can't help but notice that they close thier web browser very quicky, I'm no dummy I can see it up and the site and then it closes.
The thing is I don't care-I'm not their boss and for all I know they are on thier 15 minute breaktime. To me this seems a instant admission of guilt that they are surfing when they shouldn't be. Should I let them know that while I don't care that it makes look more guilty to close it then had they just left it up-Or should I just let them continue on thinking they're slick!
Just thought I'd start a fun topic!

You need 600 more posts to be a Satanist ;)
Check that, 540 posts. 616 is the true sign of the beast :bigyello:
Re: People who close their browsers quickly
I'm that person.
Frankly, if I were the boss I wouldn't care as long as my employee was meeting whatever deadline, or if there isn't a lot of things in the pipeline for the team as a whole.

Well,
During my review my boss told me that so and so said I had a music site web site up. He said he didn't care at all because I get my work done quickly and effieciently.-Obviously the other employess are quick at a drop of a hat to point fingers.

Best advice is to worry about yourself and if they are doing something they shouldnt then they will go down and not you. ;) If you point things out then they may get upset at you. Its a no win situation so best to focus on meeting your deadlines and budgets. :)

Sell them a BOSS key, like they use to have in DOS games. If the BOSS was walking up, it'd flash a spreadsheet with some dummy data. Saved me a few times, and I made my own app that did the same thing with their desktop. Now I don't have to worry about it though.
Re: People who close their browsers quickly
I see no point in closing the browser. Alt + Tab to Excel or Word and nobody suspects a thing.
And autohide to the taskbar!
Re: People who close their browsers quickly
I do it all the time, sometimes I leave the page up just to let everyone know I DON'T CARE

A wise one, you are, to have retained that knowledge. :thumb:

Tell your boss - he might be more appreciative of you
