The National Science Foundation. The premiere national science agency of the United States Government has a problem with . . . porn.
Porn.
On government computers no less.
During work time.
On our nickle.
The internet is a fantastic tool. It has come so far since I first went "online" back in 1996. However, it is disgusting to learn that our technical and scientific types cannot refrain from viewing porn during work hours.
What? They do not have computers at home?!
Government employees should face the same censure as the private sector. Such conduct usually results in dismissal. Immediate and irrevocable.
There is a place for personal taste, and that is HOME. Not in the work place. In the work place, work is expected by the employer. For a government employee not suffering the same vulnerability to the vagaries of the market, such conduct is especially abhorrent.
I guess stupidity comes in all forms. And, this is definitely one of the dumbest examples of government employee stupidity and arrogance--takes arrogance to do such with perceived impunity during work hours--that I have learned of.
This speaks to integrity, morality, character, on and on.
Looks like there needs to be a wholesale cleaning at NSF.
