Company Car, Phone and ... Porn

from the Danish-Tourism dept

An IT company in Denmark has an interesting philosophy -- spend about $5 per employee per week on a fringe benefit that will make employees more relaxed and more efficient on the job. With that thought in mind, the sensible thing to do, obviously, is to provide what the employees want: free porn. That's right, porn on the company's bill. The catch is that porn is blocked during office hours, so no one surfs porn at work. Sounds like a good deal.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    I wouldn't want to be the new employee who gets the hand-me-down laptop.

    Woe be to the wives

    Woe be to the wives of these employees who are encouraged to view porn.

    Woe be to their diminishing sex life, as the porn takes over.

    What a load of rubbish! It is this "new age" thinking that came out of the French Revolution that drove my ancestors to the New world.

      i guess the comments above reflect an uptight usa attitude towards porn/sex as opposed to the more relaxed europeans...

        I am not uptight. I love sex. But I love sex with my wife. Porn just destroys intimacy.

        How come so much of the supergross ultra explicit / fetish (fill in bathroom item here) videos come from Germany / Europe?

        It is sick.
