State Official Reprimanded for Viewing Pamela Anderson Photos at Work

CA Official Reprimanded for Viewing
Not only do you have to be careful of what you post online (for fear of losing your job), but you have to be careful of where you go online. City Manager David Garcia, of Chula Vista, California, was publicly reprimanded for surfing 'inappropriate images' while at work. This so-called inappropriate browsing included days where Garcia spent "several hours" of city time on city hardware viewing (of all things) Pamela Anderson's Web site.

Garcia is far from the first person to get in trouble for slacking or Web shenanigans on the job. Surveys have shown that half of IT workers have napped while on the the clock, and Robert Zellner, a Wisconsin High School Teacher, lost his job in 2006 after spending a mere 67 seconds on a pornographic Web site.

Complaints were filed against Garcia in May by two other city employees, and he has been warned not to retaliate against them. Garcia has agreed to stop surfing the Web entirely at work. Remember just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. [From: 10 News San Diego via: Fark]
