Nearly one in five companies have fired staff for viewing internet porn while at work, according to the latest figures by Websense.
The survey of 544 large HR departments found that 25% of firms have sacked workers for internet misuse. Of these sackings the vast majority were for internet pornography.
Most cases involved employees who were shopped by fellow staff, miffed by their colleague wasting time on the Internet.
