would it be wrong of me...

to study my medical transcription course at work during my free time? I have access to my studies over the internet and alot of free time at work. What do you think?

Re: would it be wrong of me...

  • Do it!  I used to study at work all the time!

  • I don't see a problem with it if it's not interfering with your actual work schedule and you still put in your time at your regular job. I used to study during my internships during my lunch break for my classes I took at night.
  • DO IT!!! Its called time management, LOL  I used to do it all the time when i was working FT and going to school for my masters.

  • My justification is I don't have enough time to study in the evenings like I thought I would, and I hate wasting time during the day just sitting here.

  • As long as your boss doesn't have an issue with it, I would say it's ok.  Some companies have policies against it, so I'd be cautious.

  • Well no one here knows I'm taking classes. I'm afraid that if my boss found out he'd find a reason to get rid of me. He thinks I'm going to work here the rest of my life, and that's not an option for me. Thats why I'm not sure if I should or not.

  • My company definitely has policies against that.. In addition, they monitor any website go to while working (most are blocked). There is no way I could even go on TN while at work! Thank goodness for my BB!

  • Hhmmm I just looked it up in my employee handbook and it doesn't say specifically if its allowed or not, it does say your not allowed on "chat" groups. Would this be considered a chat group?

  • I don't think this is a chat group.  It's a message board.  I think chat groups are more like online chat rooms where you can type live.  Or like AOL instant messenger or something

    This is what I was thinking. I know just about everyone here uses the internet for personal use during the day. I usually delete my history every few days or so anyway.

  • Go for it, just be careful so they don't realize you're taking classes.  I would delete your history everyday just in case.

  • At my last job I studied all the time! All of my courses were online so it was easy to do. I think it would be fine. :)
