    Nonsense. I have gallons of experience in small and large successful
    environments and companies where they understand people and proper
    management. I also have experience in the environments that you seem
    to think are ideal and have seen the difference in the bottom line and
    the businesses long term success. Some of that experience is managing
    creative people like engineers; some of it is managing administrators;
    and some of it is managing production and people on the factory floor.
    But, unlike you, I chose to learn along the way instead of deciding
    that intuitively I knew everything there was to know.

    Your type of thinking went out with the Pope declaring Galileo a
    heretic for promoting science and declaring that he (the Pope) knew
    the "truth". You and the Pope would get along well.

    You're ignorant. You probably don't know the definition of the word,
    so start by looking it up. It doesn't mean stupid.

    Next, you need to understand that the fact that you deny science and
    real world implementation and observation doesn't mean it doesn't
    exist. It doesn't mean that the theories haven't been proven to a
    degree that reasonable men accept as the best deduction until a better
    theory is advanced and challenged. The THEORY of relativity is still
    just a THEORY but it's also advanced science by leaps and bounds.
    Perhaps while you are looking up "ignorant" you can look up "theory"
    and find out what it means.

    Next, go educate and enlighten yourself in management science. Find
    out why the last 50 years of research and IMPLEMENTATION in REAL WORLD
    businesses contradicts everything you are saying. Find out what they
    teach at places like Sloan and Carnegie, where major businesses send a
    very select group of their brightest managers in the country to learn:
    then read some of their publications and REAL WORLD case studies. Not
    academia, but actual observations of businesses, before, during, and
    after various motivational models were implemented. (Note: you may
    need to also look up what a "case study" is since I imagine you are
    ignorant of that too. Hint: it's not academia).

    Here's a major clue for you on the way: find out about positive
    motivation and what drives people to put maximum effort into their
    work, whether on the production line or in the office. (Hint: it's
    not punitive conditions).

    Are there lazy people in the world? Yeah, a few. Most simply lack the
    proper motivation. You can motivate them your way with the stick: that
    gets them to do only the specific job you are measuring them on and
    only until they find something better and less punitive. Or you can
    motivate them with the carrot and turn them into valuable assets that
    you grow and retain (which they are, since you've already invested
    thousands in them just to put them on the line or into a cubicle).

    You can thank me after you've expanded your uneducated brain.
     
  2. I agree with Leythos that OpenDNS is a good place to start. You don't
    install anything,...just change the DNS Forwarders you use.

    I don't mean the "big brother" term in a negative way,...it is just a way
    for me to distinguish very detailed reporting -vs- more general reporting.

    Until now, that is.
    I wouldn't hire you, wouldn't beg you to stay, and wouldn't be thrilled to
    work with you. Your attitude shoots you down.

    The perfect example of that attitude. I have said you probably have a chip
    on your should over being fired,...I never threw any insults as you have.
    Your attitude says, "I'm great, I'm wonderful, and everybody wants me to
    work for them,...and those that don't are just ignorant".

    How about both,...still in college,...got fired,...and maybe kicked out of
    the computer lab too. We even had one interview here once around 9-10 years
    ago and he started preaching (during the interview) about "Crushing the
    Corporate Silos!", "Freedom", and "Empower the people [employees]!". Yea
    right,..you can bet he got the job.....}:)

    BTW - nice to hear from you. I haven't seen or heard the name since the
    last MVP Summit I was at in March 2007 (I'm not in the program anymore).

    Here's a story (that doesn't involve Jon or Bob) that I was going to post
    earlier.

    (context of eariler in the thread)
    What the employees are doing can make a difference,..especially when you may
    be pushing the limits of your bandwidth already and some user is listening
    the Internet Radio or watching movies on www.Hulu.com. Users will try to
    get away with anything they can get away with.

    I run ISA Server and can use the Logging to figure out what I want to
    know,...but it is just a text of a bunch of log entries,..no pretty
    pictures,...and that is fine. The ISA Reporting System (that has pretty
    pictures) does not provid detailed enough information,...and that is fine
    too (since I almost never use that).

    However a proxy server or a firewall is a lousey "babysitter". We only use
    the logs to know who the management needs to go have "a little talk" with.
    At that point it is human to human,...not human -vs- firewall.

    > 2. Go prepare your resume. You don't want to work for a bunch of dolts
    > that spend their time worrying about what web sites employees are
    > browsing instead of concentrating on serving the company's customers.


    It is the employees who are supposed to be servicing the customers (not
    management),...and they aren't doing that if they are messing with
    www.hulu.com or www.hotcheerleaders.com all day.

    Now we don't "spend our time" worrying about what web sites the employees
    are browsing,...but when something becomes a problem and is noticed,...we
    deal with it. We rarely block sites because we actually want the log
    entries showing where they went to verify where they actually went and how
    much time they waisted while there.

    Now when a woman comes in in the morning and finds a dried
    stain on the seat (figure it out) because some guy on the night shift was
    sneaking into her office (to avoid his own machine) and having a little fun
    home,...that becomes a problem.

    Now for Jon and Bob's sake,...us being the evil Media and all,...we didn't
    catch them with a PC,...we caught him on video with a camera,...we're a TV
    station after all,..cameras all over the place,...the building looks like a
    porcupine with all the electronics sticking out of it. The guy that got
    busted ran one of portable cameras as his job,...go figure.

    There must be some evil filtering going on in these groups! Aside from me
    fouling up the grammar (but hey, I'm uneducated),...this paragraph used to
    say "...and having a little p**n before going home..." but actually spelled
    it out,...and after about ten tries it still would not appear in the group
    until I changed it to "...having a little fun [before he went] home,"

    And you continue to show that you don't have real-world experience with
    people or networks.

    I've worked in all the areas you mentioned, and in every one of them
    there was/is plenty of creativity and great value from/in employees, not
    one of them has a problem with the filtering and productivity increased
    once implemented - you can't fight numbers.

    Well,...I ain't goin ta Yale, Harvard, or Carnegie. Us simple folk can't
    afford it. Maybe we're a bit lazy too. So why don't you just explain to us
    how we need to deal with these poor opressed employees so we can do it right
    from now on instead of just telling us how ignorant we are and that we need
    to go to some ivy league school (unless you're paying the tuition and living
    expenses of course). We're just employees too ya know, oppressed by the
    TheoryX bosses we work for,...we need your help,...get us out of this mess
    we are in.

    There is a legal issue to this. If an employee, for example, is surfing
    porn sites and another employee sees and is offended by it, he/she can sue
    an employer for having a "hostile" workplace. The employer has to show that
    they are taking proper measures to protect themselves and employees.

    I can see that you've got your mind set and will not change it and are
    unwilling to see the real loss a company experiences and the legal
    liability for allowing unrestricted internet use for non-business
    reasons.

    Your constantly resorting to personal attacks indicate that you are not
    the type of person that most of us would hire let alone want working
    with our teams of highly motivated and highly creative people. I can
    only hope that you learn about your illusion before it does you and
    others more harm.

    Club together with fellow employees and leave a 'Theory X vs Theory Y'
    management book on his desk. Or even cheaper still, print off the previously
    cited Wikipedia article on the topic

    Theory X and Theory Y
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_X_and_theory_Y

    Approximate Cost = 3 pieces of A4 paper + a bit of black ink + one staple

    You don't need to return to school (although your attitude indicates
    that you don't know much about learning or even have the sense to
    acknowledge that you might possibly not know everything just based on
    your life experiences, so perhaps it would benefit you).

    Smart people collapse the time required to succeed by leveraging the
    work already done by experts in other areas. All you need to do is to
    read some of the reams of material on management science that have
    come out of Harvard, Yale, MIT Sloan, Carnigie, Rand, etc over the
    last 50 years.

    Try going to a Library (it's that big building in the center of town
    with all the books in it) and do some reading. Or use that Internet
    thing, I hear it's on computer now.

    Yea, I suppose I should have went more than three semsters of High School
    before I dropped out.

    In our town that central big building's the jail. That's where everyone
    around here goes to learn.

    You may think I'm jerking you around for fun,..and I kinda am a little
    bit,...the first one or two post were annoying, but it's been fun since we
    got past those,....but I really did drop out of high school at 16 after 3
    sememsters and the buildning in the center of town here really is the
    jail,.....and it has more people in it than at the library.

    Where I'm from we don't really "look up" to things like Harvard, Yale, MIT
    Sloan, Carnigie, Rand,...in fact we kinda look down on them. So if you want
    credability,..don't tell 'em you came from there. We respect "self-made"
    men that got where they are by their own hard work and skills without some
    snooty Ivy League institution telling them what to think and believe.

    I've been trying to have a little fun with the thread rather than just
    getting ticked off, which was the first reaction in the first couple of
    posts. The whole X/Y thing isn't anything new and it isn't leading to any
    solutions either. The two sides of the X & Y are just conclusions or
    symtoms resulting from two conflicting world views particularly in the area
    of anthropology as it pertains to the origin and condition of man.

    Now I really did drop out of high school at 16 after 3 sememsters and the
    big building in the middle of out town really is the jail, and it really
    does have more people in it than the library. But I'm a little bit more
    educated than I let on. I hope Bob isn't too disappointed

    To get back on topic (if that's possible), how does this apply to IT?

    1. Education is ill defined in todays world. I became IT manager of an NBC
    Affiliated TV Station after being a truck driver for 10 years without any
    college degrees. It was my first IT job and I have lasted for 10 years and
    counting which is almost unheard of now-a-days. Then I followed that up
    with being the 8th person *worldwide* to be brought into the MVP Program for
    MS ISA Server that I retained for three years,...good thing they didn't ask
    for my diploma. After three years there were still only about 23 of us
    *worldwide*

    2. The very fact that the Internet is practically a sewer of Viruses, worms,
    trojans, hyjacks, phishing, porn, scams, shams, and few hundred other things
    that I can't think of so fast off the top of my head,...and behind every one
    of those evil worthless things is a *human* to blame,... who works
    *somewhere*,.........indicates that the basic presuppositions of Theory-X
    are standing on much more solid ground. And in case anyone wonders what
    those presuppositions really are,...here you go,...right from the Wiki link
    you gave:

    -------------------------------------------------------------
    In this theory, which many managers practice, management assumes employees
    are inherently lazy and will avoid work if they can. They inherently dislike
    work. Because of this, workers need to be closely supervised and
    comprehensive systems of controls developed. A hierarchical structure is
    needed with narrow span of control at each and every level. According to
    this theory, employees will show little ambition without an enticing
    incentive program and will avoid responsibility whenever they can. According
    to Michael J. Papa, if the organizational goals are to be met, theory X
    managers rely heavily on threat and coercion to gain their employee's
    compliance. Beliefs of this theory lead to mistrust, highly restrictive
    supervision, and a punitive atmosphere. The Theory X manager tends to
    believe that everything must end in blaming someone. He or she thinks all
    prospective employees are only out for themselves. Usually these managers
    feel the sole purpose of the employee's interest in the job is money. They
    will blame the person first in most situations, without questioning whether
    it may be the system, policy, or lack of training that deserves the blame. A
    Theory X manager believes that his or her employees do not really want to
    work, that they would rather avoid responsibility and that it is the
    manager's job to structure the work and energize the employee. One major
    flaw of this management style is it is much more likely to cause
    Diseconomies of Scale in large businesses.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now,...I think this thread has gone on plenty long enough. It needs to die
    off,...and I have grass to mow, cats to feed, and a whole host of other
    things that don't require electricity, a PC, or an Ivy League PHD.

    C-ya's all tomorrow!

    And you see where that gets a lot of companies - it's strange how you've
    been suckered into believing that people were not productive or creative
    or motivated before the Internet was common place.

    Er...., Leythos? Did you not see to whom you replied? You're
    preaching to the choir.

    Sorry, it's been a long week. I think I meant to reply to another post.
