How much time do you waste every day on your job?
If you are an average worker, you waste 2.09 hours per workday, according to a survey by America Online and Salary.com.
Where’s all this time going? “Surfing the internet for personal reasons” leads the list. Almost 45 percent of more than 10,000 persons polled say this is their number one time-wasting activity. “Socializing” (23 percent) and “conducting personal business” (6.8 percent) are numbers two and three on the list. Also, listed are “spacing out,” “running errands,” “applying for other jobs,” “planning personal events” “arriving late/leaving early”.
By the way, the Salary.com survey shows that persons born between the years of 1980 and 1985 waste nearly four times as much time on the job as do those born from 1930 to 1949.
What’s your experience? Are you wasting time that you could apply to career success? What do you see others doing?
