That is great, however did the boss get this latest report and what does he really think about it. I do not want to get into a cross fire between this report and the boss.

I beg to be different as twittering, on mylot or facebook during working hours can cause lapse of concentration on the work on hand as we will tend to put in more time in responding to the messages. This will break the rhythm of the productivity. This can be addressed by the user himsef/herself by imposing a strict self discipline while on work. It all come back to the self control.

Really? Wow. Too bad that in my current workplace, we're not allowed to surf the net, even on lunch breaks. Oh well, their loss, and not mine. I should've been more productive if they allowed me to. Heh.

I think it is correct? Sometimes we get super focus on our work, we tend to forget to refresh our mind. I think browsing other sites or doing mylot while on work is very relaxing. --PaLs--

I think employee should focus and concentrate only to their work.It will increase the productivity of company.I learn management and know why employee should just focus on their job and not waste their time on work part time by use computer company or chatting in twitter or friendster.When they go back at home,they can do what they want.
