Wasting Time at the Office

Posted on August 12, 2005

Are you wasting valuable company time by surfing the web and chatting with co-workers? Probably. A recent study found that U.S. workers spend an average of two hours per day (excluding lunch) on activities like web surfing or socializing. The Career Journal offers some advice for employees wasting too much time at work and warns them their employers may be watching. And Missouri has the worst slackers of any U.S. state. USA Today reports that Missouri workers spend an average of 3 hours and 12 minutes a day of each work day wasting time.
