Assuming the employer has a policy totally prohibiting incidental use of the internet, the only ethical think for Foo to do is to remind Baz to edit from home. This would be true in all situation unless it were specifically part of Foo's normal functions to detect & report violations of this policy--and in that case i would be concerned whether Foo may have trapped Baz by inducing him to violate it.
What about workplaces where it is policy that if you come into knowledge of a policy breach you are obligated to report it? Foo may only be trying to cover their own butt.
