Cyber Monday And Worker Productivity

We had a very busy Thanksgiving weekend and from early indications,  a good Black Friday, and today is the next big shopping milestone. It's Cyber Monday.

Some experts say it's going to be a big one for online shopping, but our question is how will that affect the back to work productivity today in offices all over our area? Well, here's a stat that may help answer that question.

According to a published report, 95% of workers are planning to do Cyber Monday shopping while at work today. Last year, the same article reports, productivity was at an all time low on Cyber Monday, so expectations for today being a productive work day are not exactly high.

None of this should be surprising to any of us. With our crazy work and life schedules, we just find it extremely hard to get it all done, so many resort to "multi-tasking" work and shopping at work, but be careful. Many employers will be on the look out for Cyber Monday shopping.

Having said that, it's tough to pass up the deals and the items that are going fast. The good news is even if you can't get a lot done today, you still have 24 shopping days left.
