“From 9 am to 5 pm…there it was…an employee emailing, chatting, searching, and shopping.  We shook our heads in disbelief.  I wondered how she could focus on the job at hand.  In the middle of the first week of monitoring I went to the company handbook and emailed everyone a portion of our Acceptable Use Policy as a subtle hint, suggesting they ‘read, review, and abide.’  The screen snapshots feature showed that as she read the emailed policy, she immediately began deleting MASS QUANTITIES of emails…then it showed her moving to the deleted files section and deleting the deletions.  If it hadn’t been so serious, it would have been almost humorous.”
