    Sounds like a nightmare situation and in your situation I'd be seeking legal advice.

    Regarding the internet usage, if for example you go on www. something. com for work related purposes, but the site has adverts and/or somethings twitter feed on the home page. Will you be in danger of being reprimanded for accessing the adverts/twitter even though you haven't been on the sites? With the three personal sites you went on, were they accessed during a legitimate break and from your own personal computer?

    My opinion on internet policies at work is that during genuine lunch/coffee break, you shouldn't be disciplined for using your personal equipment to make phone calls or go online so long as you're not accessing anything dodgy.

    I'd also be seeking alternative employment.
