Office life – I’ve only come in for the tea

British workers waste almost a quarter of their day making tea, gossiping and planning holidays, a poll has found.
The results show Britons are the most distractible and unproductive in Europe, despite working the longest hours.

The average employee spends 22 per cent of the working day chatting, Internet surfing or reading the paper, with the biggest timewaster being the tea run.
Just over half of workers (53 per cent) confessed to spending more time making a brew than on business.

The office environment has become so distracting that professionals are increasingly choosing to work from home, the survey for printer company Lexmark found.

(surely the real reason all those people work from home, is so they can be closer to the kettle! this article was taken from yorkshiretoday.co.uk)
