Do you surf the Internet at work? According to recent survey by the Creative Group, you shouldn't feel guilty to do so. More than half (57 percent) of advertising and marketing executives say it is okay for employees to visit non-work-related websites during business hours, as long as it is not longer than 30 minutes a day.
A lot, I think, depends on the sites you visit. It is never ok to visit porn sites or other inappropriate sites, and excessive browsing is never good. Before deciding to browse, check your employee handbook for rules on Internet use, and remember: They could be monitoring your use!
TFS,
I am the one who going to say it is ok for employee to surf up for the information that support their work and job performance.

If a company is have trouble with employees surfing a lot on the net, I'd say it's just a symptom of a larger issue regarding how employees are managed.
