Woe! I no can has internets!

My work is cutting off a huge part of our internet access starting October 1st. Likely I won't be able to see LJ at all anymore, or any of my favourite blogs.

WOE!

Yes, I know. I'm supposed to work while I'm at work, but since a lot of it is "hurry up and wait" work, I really relied on the internet for my sanity.

*sigh*

I will live, but it just won't be the same.

Any explanation why they're doing this? Is staff productivity actually measurably suffering because of internet usage? Would it really genuinely suffer less if staff were denied this outlet?

I think they're doing it for "security" purposes rather than for reasons of productivity.

Difficult one to dodge, I suppose. I know some games companies are very paranoid like that too, but obviously their staff do need web access so they have two networks running in parallel and two PCs on every desk, one machine connected to the outside world, the other connected to the work servers.
