This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

The wheat with the chaff then.
I remember a friend of a friend being outraged at being fired for spending 30 hours one week arsing about on social media, chatrooms, dating sites and other stuff. She genuinely couldn't see what was wrong with being paid for 40 hours and working, perhaps (since even that would be fairly suspect) ten.
She was furious that they'd "spied" on her too, despite it being known to all that all usage was monitored and could be audited.

I said that I'd block MSN and similar if I was the boss of an institution like the one she'd worked for and she tore a strip off me saying I was obviously as bad as them, some kind of control freak.

The SS probably invented MSN.

I'm going to go out on a limb here
and suggest that a job like that is pretty non-essential if it even contains any means of pissing away three quarters of the working week on the internet.
