Have you ever wandered around the office around midday? When employees are surreptitiously appropriating company time to very quickly check their Facebook profile, or update their Fantasy Football roster? With their screens turned in slightly so passersby are unable to observe and detect their online movements, these employees, because of their jerky and nervous mannerisms, betray themselves, making evident to virtually everybody walking past that their rapid mouse clicks and quiet laughter have absolutely nothing to do with work. While it is assumed that employees take time each day to peruse the net for life’s unanswered questions, the latest news updates, or perhaps, groundbreaking news about Kim Kardashian’s latest love interest (farewell Miles Austin), how much time are we actually spending at work, not doing…work?
OnlineMBA asked this question, and compiled a visual report called, Hardly Working—A look into business at the workplace. Although I have never posted multimedia on the blog, OnlineMBA’s visual report is most effective in its original form; thus, below you will find a tangled web of statistics and graphics which should inspire shock, awe, and horror in every supervisor, low-level employee, and executive who views it. Enjoy!
