UK Workers May Be Liars, But US Workers Are Slackers -- Says Microsoft
from the I'll-pit-my-slackers-against-your-liars-any-day... dept
Last week, Microsoft released a study talking about how British workers were liars. In their (apparently) ongoing quest to find out what's wrong with workers around the world, this week they're reporting that workers in the US are slackers -- procrastinating away two days out of every five day workweek. Who knew? Apparently, I'm a slacker on my procrastination skills. I'm way behind the average. Time to do more procrastinating. Of course, this raises the inevitable question: who would you rather employ, the liars or the slackers?
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.

not us workers, all workers
How did you get that the article claims the US is slackers? To me it says that everyone is slackers, but the US is a slight bit less.
