Japanese official demoted for logging more than 780,000 hits on porn sites - Yahoo! Singapore News

TOKYO - A Japanese civil servant was demoted for logging more than 780,000 hits on pornographic Web sites on his office computer over nine months, an official said Friday.

The man, a Kinokawa city government employee in western Japan, visited porn sites from June 2007 to February 2008, city official Tomiko Waki said. The man's name was withheld.

City officials said the number of hits discovered on his computer's internal log was so high in part because one click on certain types of pornographic sites registers multiple hits.

Despite his frequent porn viewing, none of his colleagues noticed his activities, which he apparently conducted throughout the workday.

"Each desk is set apart from each other," Waki said, adding that the man logged 170,000 hits on porn sites in July alone.

The man's supervisors discovered his extensive porn site visits after his computer became infected with a virus, prompting officials to examine his Web browser's history.

Along with the demotion, he received a 20,000 yen (US$190) monthly pay cut, Waki said.

Ya lor,we need to release works stress :D

Re: Another reminder not to surf porn in the office
 

bros,i do agree with u that u sometime need 2 release work stress.
I also agree that as long as the worker is able 2 deliver his work & perform at work,there shouldn't be anything wrong with surfing porn in office.

But then pls knw the culture/mentality of most of these asian bosses/managers.

Most of them considers the following as "GOOD" employees;

1)a worker that comes 2 the office on time,makes a lot of noise so 2 let the boss knws he is ard in the morning. Then he disappear b4 lunch & only reappear aft 4pm. Then he makes a lot of noise again. He would also stayed back aft 6pm 2 surf the net.But the boss don't knw wat he was doing,and thinks he is a fd worker that works late everyday.

2)a worker that follows blindly 2 whatever the boss ask him 2 do,w/o using his own brain 2 think.

3)a worker that joins the boss 4 nite or weekend activities.

Either u leave it as it is or leave it(resign).

As long you do it after off hour, I believed there's nothing wrong

Re: Another reminder not to surf porn in the office
 

But the bosses don't think so :(

i don't think it's safe to surf these type of website in office, they might be able to trace the websites you've been without logging in to your computer..

For me, my office IT department banned all the obscene sites including SBF. So even hv free time to surf also cant surf:(

Re: Another reminder not to surf porn in the office
 

Then surely the directors and managers whould have more hits...

Re: Another reminder not to surf porn in the office
 

I think the fact that this guy is a civil servant amounts a lot to why its wrong and punishable. If he is just another employee in a private company, his action can only be judged by the directors. But all civil servants have a code of conduct that should encompass more area into (the righteousness of) their behaviour.

If he slack in his duty as a civil servant, then I guess every taxpayer has a right to judge. But take a look at the numbers, 780,000 hits. This one even his boss want to close one eye also cannot.

After reading all the comments here, I had a friend who sends out nude pix thru email to friends in the same office. Co. found out thru their IT dept n he was ask to leave. So bros be careful

I think better don't play play in the office.

Re: Another reminder not to surf porn in the office
 

I doubt any boss will allowed employee surfing porn during office hour.

When u work from 9 to 6pm, that 9 hrs is considered 'sold' to the Co, it belong to the Co. Any misuse of those hour is considered 'stealing'.

Although we may say, we try to surf when no one is around, but what happen when u are too engoss in it and someone came in??? Or u forgot to close the broswer and someone came in? And that someone happen to be a VIP? It will really reflex badly on the Co, it could be a very costly mistake.

Luckily I am allowed to surf while working cos I work from home. :D
