Don't chat at work, problem solved.

Semaphore?

Don't. If something is private keep it at home. You probably can work round it, but getting accused of hacking a work PC will not be fun.

seriously, dont risk that at work, not worth your job is it?

Get a pair of sharp Pliers, unplug the monitor from the power outlet, snip one of the connectors from that plug, plug it back in, and call tech suport, sould be fun.

Good luck.

But keep im mind that life without that extra paycheck sometimes is not as fun as a chat program.

I don't think the bosses issue will be the content of the chats. It's more likely to be the fact that you're doing it on company time. Keep the personal stuff for your time.

Reasons to ban personal communication at work can be quite numerous.
Bypassing it is a sure way to prove you're the bad apple.

it is really funny to me that every response has been on the "don't do it" side of the issue. The OP could have found his answer via google search, but posted here. Why here?

On a personal note, all of my employees are informed of our companies 'personal PC use' policies and I have only had to fire two of the last 20 hires for abusing their internet connection on company time.

"Abusing" and "on company time" need to be defined here. There can't be too many white collar workers who don't ever engage in personal business from their desks. After all, every employee is entitled to periodic breaks.

If this is merely about chatting, I would say just don't do it. But the company is probably sucking up everything (e.g. by keylogging), which IMO is very dangerous. Would YOU trust your IT department with all your mail/banking/server/etc. passwords?

My suggestion is to bring a laptop to work and use that for personal business. You still won't have much privacy depending on how you access the Internet, but at least nobody will be able to spy on secure connections.

avoid doing it in the first place.

"Abusing" and "on company time" need to be defined here.

Company Time - the time I am paying them for. Not their breaks or lunch times. Employees who need to do personal business can do so three times per day, or before/after work.

Abusing: Employee is instructed to stay off craigslist when they should be working on the large marketing project that needs to get done. Project is running way behind schedule. Employee's PC is looked at and the browser history has shown that said employee has looked at more than 150 ads for puppies online - during the time she should have been working on the project. Terminated.

Other Abusing stories: Employee seems to be lagging behind on how long it is taking to do a project. He goes to lunch, leaving a #*$! site up on his computer. It is later discovered to be a paid #*$! site that he used his company credit card and email to register with. Makes me think he wanted to get fired. He was.

Another Abuser: Employee is supposed to be recoding a bunch of inventory data. It seems to be going slow. DSL modem is checked and the sites Facebook and Myspace are the most accessed sites that day. Employees browser history shows she has been looking at those sites all day long. Terminated after multiple verbal and written warnings.
