Is it unethical to surf the web if I am idle?
I recently joined a new company. The problem is that they have a release coming up this month end and don't have the time to loop me into the work-flow.
I have asked for work to get to know the code base better and have done it and have a fair idea of what I will be doing.
Now, in my idle time (till 31st I'm guessing), I am free of any tasks. So, I tend to surf the web on my mobile. While I don't thing anyone minds, and yes it might not give the best impression; what I wonder is if it is considered unethical?
