How much does oOple cost...............the companies we work for???
 
As the title says,, whilst at work i have oople on in the background, and check it when i am bored with work, which is most of the time. There are a few people on here who seem to be on the same amount of time. i reckon oople costs companies £1000s in lost man hours every day:lol:



Nice one:thumbsup:

jimmy 27-03-2008 04:44 PM

damn I thought you were going to buy oople for a second there and I could retire and chill out! :lol:

As long as no ones company sues me for destroying their productivity its all good :D

And now that Northern Rock is under public ownership, how do you tax payers feel about that?

Management :thumbsup:


Leading by example eh chris:lol:

Jean-Christophe 27-03-2008 05:14 PM

Maybe it s more complicated considering that you ll work better if you re happy...

oOple can be some "investment" somewhere....:thumbsup:

jimmy 27-03-2008 05:20 PM

To whom it may concern,

If your business is suffering from 'oople addiction' then I offer an IP blocking service for only 50ukp per month. This includes blocking any alternate IP masking or proxy server your employee might attempt to use.


Increase your business growth potential - get oople blocked today!

oople doesnt cost jack in lost man hours at our place...the filtering gestapo software blocks it out for some reason

telboy 27-03-2008 05:27 PM

Obviously, most of northern rock must have been 'oOpling' too.
They've been that busy oOpling that they missed all the stuff going wrong with the business.:lol:


It must cost me.....ooh....about 3 shells a week.
Every time I come ito the house for a cuppa, I always oOple around for a while.:thumbsup:

josh_smaxx 27-03-2008 05:59 PM

In ICT (thats every wednesday from 1:30pm till about 4:10) i spend a fair bit of time on oOple, some pages are blocked but i can get on most. I do work and i know if i wasnt on oOlple id be talking, just means that everytime the teacher walks past i open my work and start typing, so i actually do more :thumbsup: oOple is productive.

stegger 27-03-2008 06:43 PM

I have oOPLE on all the time even going from customer to customer (3G cards are wonderful things) i've even had a few customers become interested in our great hobby/sport:thumbsup::thumbsup:

ryan 27-03-2008 07:08 PM

mattym0310 27-03-2008 10:46 PM

CraigM2610 28-03-2008 09:23 AM

My school has blocked everything including oOple :cry::cry::cry:
We've tried proxy sites (:thumbsup:) but they've been blocked aswell :thumbdown::mad::cry:
My ICT lessons are boring and my teacher's gay:lol: which makes things worse

andys 28-03-2008 09:39 AM

Anyone on this at school, message for you...
DO SOME WORK AND GET OFF THE INTERNET YOU LAZY SCROTE.

Anyone running that all day at work, you have too much time on your hands.
GET OFF YOUR LAZY BUTT AND DO SOME WORK !

Jesus, this whole internet thing is a nightmare for businesses, bloody facebook and my space, the women where I work spend more time on that than they do on actual work !

Rant over.

PS. I posted this from home, on a day off work ;)

chris_blakey 28-03-2008 09:50 AM

quick question, can you get into regedit? (start --> run --> type regedit)

if you can and they havent set their network up properly then you may be able to get round it. let me know!

not for another week here, but im off next week :D

frogger 28-03-2008 10:02 AM

I would argue it's bad management that forces us to use Oople. If they gave us more interesting work we would not be on here :thumbsup:

losixxx 28-03-2008 10:05 AM

so they havent had easter week off, that's strange, the lazy arse wife's still in bed on her 2 weeks off:lol:

Lee 28-03-2008 10:10 AM

Thats women for you. im in work which is 40 mile away before she gets up to get the kids ready for school:lol:


They dont half have it easy.



Im in the same boat Ian, if i get bored of surfing then ill do some work:thumbsup:

Did you already try via a httpS proxy? :rolleyes:

josh_smaxx 28-03-2008 04:16 PM

Considering my school is a 'college of mathematics and computing' and we have a large purpose built computer building it is incredably difficult to get anywhere, every single page i visit is logged, i just have to hope the technicions are tired and cant be bothered to tell me off. They have it so controlled that you cant access notebook or command prompt, its like a computer, but in a safe :mad:

albertobdq 28-03-2008 04:27 PM

Bah... insipiduos...
 
According to Dogbert's book of leadership and management, Oople increases the value of every company wich employees spend more than 2 hours a day waching the pics, reviews and forum. If you're wondering how this can be possible the answer is quite obvious: while "Oople abducted" that employees are avoid to produce negative work (more about negative additions to work function on further chapters), specially if the guys being "abducted" are part of the management team.

GO 4 ÈM DOGBERT!

Jimmy, you'd let them know every company about how you can help them to increase value. I'm pretty sure that Oople is used by all the companys from Fortune's 500. That's a really strong argument to show the impact of Oople adding value on every kind of business and increase its visibility.

In fact, being Oople fan is now considered among the core competences to achieve success in high competitive enviroments.

LEGEND 28-03-2008 04:48 PM

I would normally go on oOple almost every I.T lesson which is everyday except wednesdays but now my school has blocked it. But i have a secret weapon that they do not know about, that lets me get on any website i can think of.:p

They will find it one way or another :p My friend knows how to make Admin acounts on the school computers but they last all of 5 mins :thumbsup: the technicions find it pretty quickly.

racingdwarf 28-03-2008 06:58 PM

VintageRacer 30-03-2008 08:48 AM

It's been quite funny reading all of this, I'm an ICT teacher! :D

b4rs 31-03-2008 12:35 PM

theyve blocked oople at school for me too, because its a forum. i can only get onto batley buggy club site and thats like 2 years out of date....
i wouldnt mind being a ict technician at school, blocking people lol and taking over there computers.

me and my mate once found out one of the teachers passwords so we thought we were in, but we realised teachers were blocked too!:mad:. weve tried everything, proxy sites, no i.p. everything but command prompt is blocked too. so i just sit it out and go on when i come home.

oople doesnt take over my life like some lol. i can bare without it for a day or 2.

ive just been to lanzarote and on arrival in the u.k i realised how crappy the u.k has become.
lanzarote was friendly, warm, sunny and picturesque. no comparison to the uk.

rant over...

Lee 31-03-2008 12:39 PM

Its 14 degrees and sunny in north shields today, i know cos i have just been out to get a pasty:thumbsup: its ace!!!

Now im back on oOple:thumbsup:

jimmy 31-03-2008 12:44 PM

I've just been sat in maccies carpark for an hour and I'm 10 mins late back to work so I could finish and upload the report from the weekend!
Still not done the big photo gallery yet mind.
