How Employees Waste Their Time On The Web
from the ah,-useful-stats dept
We all know that employees surf the web for non-work purposes, but now we've got some stats to back it up. Leading the list, 72% of people surfed for the latest news. I actually don't think this can necessarily be considered non-work usage, as news can often be helpful to your job (depending on what you do, of course). Some interesting other results included the 37% who use the web to find themselves another job and the 4% who make sure they get their work-related porn needs fulfilled. The article lists other non-work destinations and stats as well.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
