BBC News – Workers lose three hours to net something of a sensationalist study – this is to say they spend more than three hours a week surfing the net, almost half of them admiting to some personal use. But if it is done in break time (and considering that most of them will be putting in unpaid overtime) where is the harm?

The piece notes, “UK employers were five times more likely to reprimand staff for inappropriate use of the internet than in many other European countries.” Ouch!

A Dilbert-esque CEO gets his comeuppance. He sent out an email memo which said, “We are getting less than 40 hours of work from a large number of our K.C.-based EMPLOYEES … you have a problem and you will fix it or I will replace you… NEVER in my career have I allowed a team which worked for me to think they had a 40-hour job.” Naturally it was widely circulated and his company’s stock price dropped 22 percent…

According to the NYT, “he said, he wanted to promote discussion. He apparently succeeded, receiving more than 300 e-mail responses from employees.” I wish I could have read some of those!
