Porn in the office is obviously unacceptable, offensive,
disrespectful and clearly amounts to 'sackable' conduct.
Right? Well...
As recently confirmed by the Full Federal Court's decision
to uphold the reinstatement of two porn-lovin' posties,
indulging in a little XXX entertainment in the workplace
doesn't always amount to a sure-fire dismissal.
After installing a new email filter at one of its letter
centres, Australia Post discovered it had a bit of a porn ring in
its ranks. At least 40 employees, including supervisors and
managers, apparently thought mail sorting could use some spicing
up, so NSFW (look it up, maybe not at work though) material was
commonly shared through email. Not the discriminating types, the
employees apparently circulated material spanning an
"extraordinary range" and included "highly explicit
video files of orgiastic sexual intercourse of various types".
Commission's words, not ours.
