There are a few tasks in the office you should avoid at all costs, as no matter how well you do them, you are guaranteed to annoy at least 50% of the staff. These include choosing the staff uniform and organising the Christmas party. I'd like to add another one to that list... Today, I'm writing the company Acceptable Internet Usage Policy.
I've gathered a few policies from other companies to look at. Somehow I think the point outlawing "postings to newsgroups, bulletin boards and forums" might not make it into my version. I know our company is just looking to cover itself should it need to take action against anything offensive found on someone's PC, and I certainly wont be switching on any internet monitoring and logging, but it still makes the person who has to write and stick that policy out to everyone look bad.
