Our company decided to block YouTube. For some reason, we can go to YouTube and search, but we cannot watch any of the videos [or at least I haven't been able to on the ones I've clicked].
Now... before everyone starts bitching "You shouldn't be on YouTube at work" etc., I'm not. My reasons for going to YouTube at work are typically:

Between your time spent on Youtube and Ohio Chatter while at work, you should be fired. I'll let your boss know since I am his boss.

While employers are completely within their rights to do so, in most cases this approach is treating symptoms as opposed to attempting to cure the disease. If employees aren't getting the job done, that's the problem, not what they are doing instead. Fire them and get better employees. If the job is getting done, get over the idea that checking a video or two or looking at a Facebook page is any different than the old school coffee break.

And perhaps I should have stated this in my original post, but I completely agree that employers do have the right to block whatever content they choose to.
