A recent global survey says that employees in India are top violators of IT rules at workplaces, ahead of Russia and Vietnam. With as many as four out of five employees in India admitting to doing it, it is no surprise that they don't even think it is a violation.

I admit.. i also violate rules of my companies by keeping "Sharekhan website" open in one tab of my browser and keeping track of markets.
I agree, most of the IT persons will keep open their FB accounts on another tab on their browser. i seen a lot of my friends using like that even me many times.
Yes many are doing so and please share about some merits and demerits of it.
It applies to not only IT, the scenario is same in other sectors too!
Chinmoy jee i had not understood this please explain in simple words.
There are violations of various provisions of some welfare legislations. For example many employers don't deposit provident dues which is a serious offence but we have fewer actions against the employers!
Thank you chinmoy jee for your explanation.Then how the violations will reduce.
When the authorities wake up to these violations and take effective aginst the violators as per the provisions of the respective Acts!
But authorities take many time to wake up they also will do this as hurry burry and forget after some days.
Sorry mates! I think what this post actually wanted to convey is violation on the part of employees of rules at workplaces. It is true some of the governemnt employees are the worst violators of rules. They make personal calls from office phones,misuse internet facilities! This reflects poorly on our culture!
Shame on us! Actually we Indians are so much used to violating and breaking rules under the garb of adjustment and convenience that we don't realize that we are breaking the trust our clients! In BPO sector, the employees are required to study and take tests on rigorous security procedures and practices, it should be applied to IT and other sectors as well.

We Indians consider that our basic rights! I have seen a lot of people using the company phones to call their mothers, fathers, girlfriends and boyfriends and talk for very long periods of time! :angry:

Same trend was about to be followed in my company. This came into notice of admins and they started tracking all non business numbers and started deducting the amount from the salary of the employee.
It's truly a shame! Such wanton conduct in relation to one's own organization should invite strictest of actions!

In my workplace too, we got all phones locked with access only to high ranking managers and VPs! :( Even many managers were found misusing the facilities! :angry:
The very fact that locking has to be resorted to tells its own story!
"Free ka mila raha hai,to kyu na use kar liya jaye". This is there. In all places,offices,every one takes advantage of it. Its also very difficult to stop them. Keeping restrictions is only the Solution. But that will make the matter more complex.
I think if there is no work in office then if anyone utilizing time by doing something else which can give him advantage then its not bad.
The question is if he or she has taken permission from the office authorities or doing it improperly. His or her own advantage is not synonymous with that of office!
well boddunan may also be a reason for such floutings :P
