Harder To Take Advantage Of Cyber Monday At Work This Year

Today is the Cyber Monday but if you're planning to do some shopping at work, it may be harder than ever this year.

Some research estimates $1 billion in productivity is lost on Cyber Monday and many companies have taken notice and are doing something about it. In a recent survey of Chief Information Officers reported at businessnewsdaily.com, 60% say they are blocking access to online shopping. That is up 12% from last year.

Not all companies are blocking access, however. Those who aren't estimate that their workers will spend 4 hours a week surfing the web for deals while at work this holiday season.
