As CTO, didn't you set the policy for what sites were banned? Or couldn't you at least circumvent them?

@Andrew, great point ... this is in the U.K. ... honestly I think all these surveys are a joke but it's definitely worth a few minutes of though :)

I think these stats are only in the UK... the article references Pounds rather than dollars and the date is written in European format. I would doubt these stats accurately reflect the US where it seems to me employers have been more accepting.

Similar stats like this came out last fall for both Australia and the UK (http://tinyurl.com/348rws). Not sure about the UK study referenced in the Telegraph but the Aussie study was funded by a firm that sells email and site blocking server software. Not sure if that is applicable in this case, but it would be interesting to know.

I have other links, etc about last year's study in a post I wrote here: http://tinyurl.com/5aobwe
