YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Because it's fine?
Yeah some companies might monitor what you do but:
a) It's not that common or not that detailed as some people imply it
b) It's mostly for detecting malware or breaches, they don't care about your social stuff.
c) Most people just check normal stuff in social media nothing to worry even if somebody from works check it
d) People have downtimes, checking Twitter or similar for a little while it's not a firing offense....
e) Most of the time is not checked by anyone except if something flags it. Which again usually is set for malware and breaches not if you spend x time on YouTube or Twitter....
Yeah...use your phone if you can... But some people are painting this as the end of the world like the untouchable the forbidden fruit.
Coming from IT:
A: Disagree; it's logged, analyzed, and stored in the name of efficiency.
B: Yes, but also no. Stopping malware is the original idea. But why would a business stop there when they can pressure 2% more time out of you by assigning ametric for everything?
C: Fair
D: It is if there's budget cuts/Boss dislikes you. Leaving evidence of you not working on company time can be an anchor around your neck.
E: Yes, until no. See D.
I agree using work internet for personal shit isn't career suicide, but it just opens the door for shit that isnt needed. Frivolous work internet usage is an example of "Free to those who can afford it, very expensive for those who can't".
Just use Data if you can, or shitpost after your shift
