I just basically got fired this morning at work

I say basically because I was put on "Administrative Leave" for them to investigate, but we all know what that fucking means.

The manager said that another employee (only 3 know I work in adult) reported that I was surfing porn on the net. I had to explain to my boss i work in adult, so any sites he sees will be affiliate sites where I am checking my stats.

But again, not information for the company you work for to have.

Anyway, I was on the verge of being able to quit my FT job, because I am doing OK in adult, but not good enough to replace ,my income there. You know how that goes, about 2 more months before I'll know if it's ok to support myself online. Now I am fucked unless something good comes along fast.

It will probably be better to put in my two weeks instead of waiting to get fired.

I don't know if I should put in my 2 weeks, speak with a lawyer or ask around about jobs on here.

This is so fucked, and I think i may be too.

:feels-hot :feels-hot :feels-hot

always have somethign to fall back on
dont wait for 2 weeks - secure something for yourself now just in case

escorpio 04-05-2004 05:49 AM

Give notice and spend a couple lean months doing adult. After you make the switch to full time you'll make more money and the checks will start to flow soon. Who wants to work at some shithole where your coworkers rat on you? Fuck 'em, man. You can make the switch now.

Sounds like your company adheres to the NO PORN, DUMMY rule. Some of you guys are hooked on seeing stats too much. Watching them every two hours won't make them grow! :winkwink:

clickhappy 04-05-2004 06:04 AM

Let me ask a technical question.

If you made a site that has a clean name like say "check-your-e-mails.com" with a password security box, and you logged in and had your porn work inside of a frame, so the outer browser is still showing check-your-e-mails.com, but inside the frame is all porn, can the company firewall still detect porn coming into the firewall, since images and pages are being pulled in from porn sites?

jimmyf 04-05-2004 06:06 AM

I'm confused who got the Administrative Leave CyberTraffic or mrthumbs?

RevSand 04-05-2004 06:10 AM

Click Happy.. Another idea on that is if you have a fast enough home connection to run a program like RealVNC and just connect to your home PC to work on anything adult while you are at work. :2 cents:

Why not use StatsRemote

well would the company firewall show that there is information being requested from porn sites in order to retreive your numbers?

You could get your stats coming in from say epiccash or tushycash and going to your computer, and once your IT dept looks at those sites and see they're porn sites you could still get fired.

I fall victim to this also.

brickbat 04-05-2004 06:17 AM

Flag the man and go adult fulltime. Just my :2 cents:

CyberTraffic 04-05-2004 06:17 AM

And by the way, for anyone who wants to come in and make some offhand statement about my traffic or my services or what I can do for my customers online -

The fact is that in my personal finances and the amount of school debt I have, it made financial sense to keep a full time job in conjunction with this one.

So this situation in no way implies anything bad about my business or the way I conduct business.

In fact, my business is growing very rapidly anyway, so this will give me the opportunity to work harder at it.

Sure Choker, Turboface etc. all are full time but they had to start somewhere too, and my traffic business is building rapidly, soon I am launching a whole suite of sites that will serve as effective tools for today's adult webmaster.

Case in point, just this morning I came home to a client irate because I was gone all night and was'nt able to reply. With this new development, that won't happen again. :)

Just blowing off some steam on the forum. I'm thankful for the opportuinity, because I do feel a bit better now.

Don't quit make them fire you and get any severence and unemployment you can to help with the transition.

FunForOne 04-05-2004 06:34 AM

Just suck it up, get some coffee and run your adult business 20 hours a day. It would be hard, but sure you can make up the extra money!

Good luck

strobi 04-05-2004 07:12 AM

You got what you deserved, live with it. You know you will get burned if you do your personal stuff during bussiness hours. And were looking at porn.:2 cents:

No matter what kind of tricky frames you are using, the browser still makes requests to those porn domains. Same with stats remote, the client software goes directly to each and every program domain in your list.

The only solution is to have a "generic" sounding server that reads your stats and posts them directly to your browser.

NOW... how much would you pay for such a server, I'm happy to design that script and run that business... :)

gornyhuy 04-05-2004 07:40 AM

By the way, CCBILL, Epoch, iBill, etc all sound perfectly clean and are legit domains for stat checking from work....

"Go Fuck Yourself" on the other hand - NOT clean sounding. :Graucho

myjah 04-05-2004 07:41 AM

thats fucked up. you always have to remember that you cannot trust your co-workers - don't do anything around them or tell them anything that you don't want the entire office to know about

Poo-Chee 04-05-2004 07:44 AM

that's fucked up man :(
good look finding another job

candyflip 04-05-2004 07:44 AM

Don't quit. Take the "firing". Collect unemployment benefits for a few months. :321GFY

nah, who could think Go Fuck Yourself has to do with porn :glugglug

CyberTraffic 04-05-2004 10:29 AM

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I know, I know, I expected to hear about how stupid it was to check stats at work - whatever.

I did it, and now this is what comes of it.

I had some time to think about it, and what's done is done.

I am going into sixth fucking gear with this shit and ain't nob.ody stoppin me.

Now, who wants some traffic?

Lucy 04-05-2004 10:34 AM

don't wait two weeks, leave with your head up and don't give a shit for your boss, become adult for full time, or you should always find some other job, at least something to the beginning...
Don't give up, it's just life!:winkwink:

Lucy 04-05-2004 10:37 AM

don't wait for two weeks, leave now with your head up and don't give a shit for your boss. start work like adult for full time or find some other job, at least to the beginning and than you'll decide.
my motto is" everything bad for something good!
don't give up, you'll make it, it's just life!

Phoenix 04-05-2004 10:44 AM

that really sucks..sorry to hear.

you can't trust anyone these days.

Hopefully, you can launch into porn fulltime..and keep your job there for as long as possible.

However if you are making oka money now..i think if you dedicated yourself 100% you would replace that other income and then some.

Good luck.:)

Giorgio_Xo 04-05-2004 10:47 AM

When I had a FT tech job I would manage my adult sites from work using GotoMyPC. All surfing was done by my home computer on DSL. You can use your work browser to view. No trace.

$100 to avoid getting fired.

Thong Sniper 04-05-2004 10:56 AM

congrats man! take this chance and run with it bro!:thumbsup

Webasic 04-05-2004 12:02 PM

are you the manager at that Taco Bell that got one of his 17 year old emplyees to strip?

Matt 26z 04-05-2004 12:49 PM

Do you really think your boss knows what being an affiliate and checking your stats is? For all he knows, you produce filthy hardcore porn and were selling it right out of your office there.

Steve W 04-05-2004 12:57 PM

angeleyes 04-05-2004 12:57 PM

Don't quit, let them fire you and you can collect unemployment. :2 cents:
