Zero time should be spent on eliminating games from work computers because they shouldn't be installed in the first place. The upside is you're focusing on things that matter instead of wasting time on things that don't"
How many games are available in the browser these days. "there are seldom technical solutions for people problems"ĭo you also filter your employees Internet access and stop them from accessing non work related web sites? The upside is you're focusing on things that matter instead of wasting time on things that don't But giving employees computers with games preinstalled is creating additional potential distractions. It's pretty futile and can be counter productive. I don't think not wanting to give employees a work tool with games preinstalled is close to equaling banning personal internet use, personal calls, etc.īanning personal internet use, calls, etc is trying to prevent the distraction otherwise known as life. Trust goes both ways, and any good employee would get fed up, resign, and find a more enlightened modern employer.īut as an industry we need to be comfortable with letting go of the old way of doing things and embrace change before we're all out of a job." I agree with completely.īut I don't really agree with the comparisons that come afterwards.
This is a little bit like employers who ban employees from using the Internet for personal things, or making personal calls on a work phone, or IT pros that set 600 GPOs, lockdown the screen saver and ban employees from changing their desktop background, just because they can. But do you ban employees bringing their phones into work where they could be playing games too? Its very true Bill, yeah maybe because Microsoft is so relaxed, their employee's are allowed to play candy crush but 9 times out of 10, games etc are banned in the workplace.ĭon't take this the wrong way, but as an industry we need to be comfortable with letting go of the old way of doing things and embrace change before we're all out of a job.
