NASB | Exodus 20:15 ¶ "You shall not steal. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Exodus 20:15 ¶ "You shall not steal [secretly, openly, fraudulently, or through carelessness]. [Prov 11:1; 16:8; 21:6; 22:16; Jer 17:11; Mal 3:8] |
Bible Question: I agree with Norrie. On breaks and on lunch it should be ok but not while on company time. The company is paying you to do a job not to be on the forum. What it boils down to is as Ed said - It is stealing. No matter how much we rationalize it it is still stealing from the company. Any other comments? |
Bible Answer: Could it not depend on what your job was. For instance, what if a person was in sales, and was paid on commission? In that case, they would not be paid for their time, but only for their accomplishments. Therefore, spending time on the forum during "job-time" would be different for them than an hourly employee at a factory for instance. Or what about a technical service person at a printer company. They are paid to be available to answer questions that customers have about their printers. If they spent time on the forum in between calls, yet always did their best while actually talking to the customers, is that wrong? I do not have either of these jobs myself, but I wanted to throw out some other possibilities to think about. |
