Everyone know's that hard work pays off in the future, but whats important to remember is that laziness pays off immediately! So down tools and follow our advice on how to use Facebook at work without getting caught!

Step 1: Change your online status

First things first you need to block your online status, so your boss can't check you are online. Go into the 'Privacy' section of your profile and click on the 'edit settings' link. Now click on the drop-down option next to your online status and change it to 'No one.' First part complete.

Step 2: Applications

Not all of the applications available to you on Facebook are utterly useless or have to involve you biting, poking or super-crapping on someone. Search for Fizzboost or fbquick, or FMenu if your using a Mac. These are all desktop alerts that notify you of new messages, friend requests, Wall comments and various other facebook features without you having to have the webpage openly displayed on your monitor. That should stop any office-eagle-eyes from spotting you wasting the companies time!

Step 3: Extra sensory powers

The more often you run the gauntlet of being caught, the more you will develop you extra-sensory perception so make yourself aware of the environment around you. That creaking door behind your back, a tell-tail sign the boss is on walk-abouts so clear your screen of any incriminating evidence!
Create an office rear view mirror or any other innocuous reflective object so you can see your boss' sneaky rear approach.

Step 4: Stay anonymouse

If your employers are acting like MI6 & are tracking your computer usage try using a service like anonymouse.org. By entering the facebook address into its browser your computer will communicate via their server rather than facebook's, destroying the paper trail that your employer will be using to track your facebook usage!

Step 5: Stay one step ahead…

If your employers have taken the ultimate step and blocked your servers access to facebook don't despair! There is one more thing you can try. Sites such as facebooking101.com and unblockfacebook.net work in a similar way to anonymouse but they allow blocked sites to still be accessed even if your employer has tried to restrict your access!

Now you can continue Facebooking to your hearts content! Done!

    How not to get caught on facebook???? Don't use Facebook at work. Now isn't that simpler than going through all the contortion outlined in this video? And...this way, you might be able to look into that mirror and smile at an honest productive worker, rather than one who is actually stealing money from his boss who is paying him not to be on Facebook. Think about it.

    I use Digsby for facebook (among other things). It's an IM client that allows me to see statuses and messages for FB as well as a bunch of other sites. :) Oh yeah...and it's free (as in beer) :)

    Funny...some of those websites got blocked anyway on free wireless spots that have restricting policies that a user must accept in order to use the internet.
