The biggest time-wasters at work?<\/a> (Cough, cough, cough)<\/p>\n

Through a Web survey involving more than 10,000 employees, the report found that personal Internet surfing ranked as the top method of cooling one’s heels at work. It was cited by 44.7 percent of respondents as their primary time-wasting activity, followed by socializing with co-workers (23.4 percent) and conducting personal business (6.8 percent).<\/p>\n

Hmmm. And what about surfing to Internet sites to socialize and describe how one’s personal business is going? Hmmmm?<\/p>\n

The average worker admits to frittering away 2.09 hours per day, not counting lunch, according to the report. That’s far more time than the roughly one hour per day employers expect the average employee to waste, the report said. The extra unproductive time adds up to $759 billion annually in salaries for which companies get no apparent benefit, the report said.<\/p>\n

Well, except maybe for happier, less regimented, more sociable, and better-connected workers. <\/p>\n
