Yes.
Read urc at home (or using your own PDA/laptop if bringing one into the
workplace is permitted).
Sorry if this sounds harsh but similar stuff happened to me in my previous
job; nearly all groups/forums were blocked (ironically the IT security guys
who did it were themselves cyclists, and cursed having to do this but it was
a taxpayer funded organisation with strict policies)
In my current job (Finance/IT Manager) I have been asked by senior
management to deploy "appropriate filtering and content monitoring software"
as well as the usual anti-virus/firewall stuff.
This was simply because previous staff took the **** and were downloading
all sorts of inappropriate material (and causing offence to other
colleagues) etc
As much as I abhor collective punishment and pre-emptive action, employers
pay for the net circuits and can do as they please with them.
