Depends on a lot of things. If he is payed based on performance or work done than generally I'd say no, this would apply to most 'lower' management functions and up. If he does his job like he's supposed to there's little reason to complain.
Second: corporate culture: are people allowed to have private phone calls ? If so than private use of the internet should be allowed.

-Does the sexual nature of the site BBB was going to make it worse?

It shouldn't, unless it can in some way damage the reputation of a company (I know one person who mailed me on company time, using the company account, who was so rude I nearly sent an email to HR complaining about her behaviour, if I had I fully expected her to be reprimanded. She was lucky I'm the forgivalbe type... )

-Because he's essentially cheating on her while at work, should his wife be told.
Hell no. It's questionable whether or not monitoring his activities isn't already a (grave) intrusion of privacy. Telling his wife definately crossing the line.


All I have to say is at work, at home or on the moon, if Mrs Corleone caught me hanging around places like that, we'd be adding a whole new dimension to Lemur's stream of snip threads:
Still you went to check it out for yourself ? Did you ask for permission ?

And I find it interesting (really, I do, that's not said as a veiled criticism) that Kurki's first reaction was the IT guy being guilty of violating the trust of his position for telling us about it. You have a point there...
That's actually the biggest issue. You guys really shouldn't have pushed him...
