I've seen both sides of this--at my last job I saw people get fired for checking personal e-mail, and my current job is very lenient about internet usage. If you accomplish what you're supposed to, they don't care if you check your e-mail or post to an online forum. Most of the people I work with (myself included) rarely take lunch breaks and work lots of hours of uncompensated overtime, so it's not a big deal if we take breaks here and there. I'm sure it would be different if you're spending hours looking at porn or downloading games and stuff. If you're dumb enough to do that, you deserve what you get.
