Top 10 ways employees waste time at work

Read Time:39 Second

24/7 Wall St. looked at a number of workplace studies on how people spend time online, and found that most say employees with PCs spend 20-plus hours a week on the Web while at work—and about a quarter of that is for personal use. 24/7 Wall St. broke those 5 squandered hours down into the top 10 “time wasters”:

1. Social Networks: 1 hr, 14 min/week; apparently, 77% of employees who have access to Facebook from work check it at least once a day.

2. Online Games: 34 min/week
3. Email: 27 min/week
4. Portals like AOL, Yahoo!: 14 min/week
5. Instant Messaging: 13 min/week

How much time is spent watching pornography at work? It’s staggering. Click here for the full list.

As a ‘Dangerous Goods Checker’ at Heathrow I spent many a happy hour signing them off as ‘safe to fly’ as quickly as possible in order to return to my internet pool tournament.

As far as I know my internet pool addiction didn’t result in any dangerous goods bringing an aircraft down…but on a far more important note, I ranked 24th in the world at one point….
