Senior bods
Years ago when stories in the IT press started to talk about employers being sued by irate female employees because male employees were smut surfing in the office, I was teaching a Unix security class and brought up the subject of content which could get the company into trouble. One of the students worked for a large well know IT consultancy business, which was of course a partnership.
He related a case they'd had at work where they'd been told to introduce some basic porn filters to the proxy server. Said work was duly done over one weekend.
First thing Monday morning his phone rang and a user starts berating him that they can no longer get to "www.MassiveTitsOrSomeSuch.com" so he patiently explained that the management had instructed the IT department to implement these filters. At which the the guy on the other end of the phone said "Well I'm a F*&^ing partner, it's my F*&^ing company and if I want to look at porn it's none of your F*&^ing business"
Eventually they compromised by laying on a totally separate Internet connection for an isolated PC in the partners office so he could smut surf to his hearts content without troubling the corporate network.
