To all QL addicts

Do you find that the higher up in the company you are the less you work and the more you spend on the net?

There are so many intelligent professional people on QL, that it makes me wonder how any work is done in Qatar. 

(btw I'm not talking about myself, the only reason I'm on QL so much is because our Doha office is not ready!   I'm at the bottom of this food chain!)

Yep, I am!  

...but I'll be less of one soon when I have to actually work.

I am waiting for the day they gonna block it my office. Someone posted in our official fourm..about QL saying that it is a very informative/useful site... ...and a note saying that please dont browse during working hours... how can people be so stupid..lol (digging their own grave) I am sure IT guys might have noticed that post.

be it higher ups or on lower posts, people need a break...minutes from the 8 hours work. you cant expect people to work continuously on the entire shift, unless they are production workers...anyways even secretary do spend a lot of time on the web...do research and personal stuff combined...and of course higher ups do...after meetings and document signing what else will they do?

"There are so many intelligent professional people on QL, that it makes me wonder how any work is done in Qatar." 

 

my answer to that -- is that i am a multi-tasker...  so long as i am doing my work, done on time (efficiently)...then no one should question why im on the net... *looking left and right, checking if someone knows im on the net..lol*

I have not even been in the same house since childhood!  We have three children. We have been married for 12 years and lived in five different homes since then.  My husband is there, and I am here listening to a little Pearl Jam.;)    I am a strong woman.  In reality, this is not a lot.  You're too nice.  I hope he loves his new job!!! Free spirit who loves life!

I think we are not in school. most of us are professionals and we do assignment based working. no matter 3,4, or 5pm... so whn wrk is complete, boss should nt have a problem. 2nd thing...every1 needs a brk...esp if u observe wrking environment here in offices..u will find total manatony..so its good brk of 10 to 15 min..and thn we kp on wrking...and it also depends upon the work prioritization..sometime we skip this surfing if thr is urgency of wrk...so i dont think blocking these sites is a solution....we are all humn beings.... and foremost, in a successful wrking environment, TRUST is the key to success.

 

There are mutinational companies where they have allocated home assignments (i have worked for one) and ppl wrk....this all done based on trust and company's confidence to facilitate its employees.

 

There is thumb rule....u cannot make ppl wrk.... thy wrk bc thy want to or thy nd to.

 

so plan well, set timelines, proceed wth SMART objectives for your company... make ppl realize thr wrth and provide environment of wrk...instead getting worried abt QL or facebook, ...

Hmmm...  I'm going to block them all.  I know it's hypocritical because I love QL and facebook, but I need to ensure work gets done!  Especially if I'm not doing it!   LOL

see, no smart professionals are answering to that..

its true, watever u say, browsing really brings down the efficiency in an office. especially chatting , networking sites and forums.
