This just in the Mingle Newsroom...

A new study released today said American productivity has unexpectedly plummeted. Further, government sources said it's unclear exactly why worker productivity continues to fall. However, on the plus side, the same sources note an equally astonishing increase in the number of friendships and romantic relationships nationwide during the same period. We have no film...at 11 or any oher time. laugh

For those of you who do it during the hours that you are being paid for, not lunch breaks, how do you live with yourselves knowing you are basically stealing from your employer? When I worked for the state I refused to be in the stupid birthday club, because it pretty much boiled down to sitting around eating cake on the tax payers dime, and that didn't sit with my conscience.

I could see judging someone for being online during work if it affected their ability to get their work done. However, if they are getting their work done, I see no problem with it.

Is this why so few even TRY to do better than just sliding by? When I finish with my regular duties, I go to find something else to do, like a help a co-worker who is behind. Guess I just can't relate to this mind set.

It may be very unpopular, but I would fire any employee that brought their personal business to my place of business in ANY way. Just not appropriate, and not my problem, so I sure as heck won't be paying for it. And yes, I have fired people for taking personal calls during business hours. I give them the same rules my mother raised me with when she was working. "Someone had better be bleeding if you bother me at work."

Who says they're just trying to slide by? Who says they are not trying to help out coworkers or get more work? You're assuming these things.

No, the fact that the time is spent online instead of working has been admitted to by those who are doing it.

In my case-there is no one else to do my work-it must be done by me and is-
and I can't help anyone else because there is no one else here during the day . If there were -I would surely help them.

Once my tasks are completed I have time to get online and chat a bit-
nothing is lost -my work is completed-bosses happy!
I happen to be lucky enough to be in an office like this.

Some do have situations like yours, it just isn't the norm. I HATE jobs where you have a lot of "dead/down" time. Whenever they ask what I liked least about any job, I tell them BOREDOM, because the previous employer couldn't keep my busy all day. For me, working makes the time pass more quickly than twiddling my thumbs. And I LOATHE the office rumor mill, so never waste time on that pathetic soap opera BS.

I call this being a kiss azz

Maybe some people have already completed their work, or maybe their work requires them to be on the computer maybe some people apparently no you, are capable of multi-tasking:banana:

HAHAHAHA "kiss azz"? Are you trying to say that being a lazy theif if preferable to being a conscientious employee? Ok, LOL
Did good old fashioned WORK ETHICS ever enter you mind? But yeah, the loafers do make it easy for me to keep getting all these stupid awards and stuff, but, truthfully, I would rather have a check than the stupid certificates, and told the bosses so. Did you also miss the part where I hate boredom the most?
