Clear that internet history at work -- a UK firm says social networking sites like Facebook are costing businesses up to 130 million GBP per day! Says the BBC, "According to employment law firm Peninsula, 233 million hours are lost every month as a result of employees "wasting time" on social networking." The director of employment expressed his outrage at employees engaging in these websites during work hours.
Many firms have already banned the use of social networking sites and regulated their employees' internet usage.
Wasted time? I'd wager that any time on Facebook would otherwise be spent making paperclip sculptures or getting creative with the copy machine. If my employer restricted my internet usage or blocked certain sites, I would quit. I wonder how much productivity is actually lost in terms of results rather than sheer hours.
