Re: Get back to work

£350m in lost productivity per year

What a load of bollocks!

Before the internet arrived people used to spend more time chatting to mates on the phone, having a dump, down the pub, chatting, staring out the winodw,. etc.etc.

Sounds great - where's my time machine....

Get back to work

If you're an employer, check out the Websense site at www.websense.com. This US vendor of web monitoring software has some absorbing statistics on internet usage. It found that, during the nine-to-five work day, 70 per cent of all web porn traffic occurs, 30 to 40 per cent of web surfing is not business-related, and more than 60 per cent of online purchases are made.

"Haven't these workers got something better to do, like, er, work?" I hear you say. Well to be fair, the same source revealed that about a third of US companies had disciplined staff for internet misuse in the past year, with most incidents related to porn surfing.
Pulling a FAST one

Meanwhile, yet another survey, this time from FAST Corporate Services, estimated that "recreational use" of the internet at work costs UK industry around £350m in lost productivity per year.>:

Every day, UK workers send about 4.5 million emails which are not all strictly work related, and roughly half of all workers say they receive pornographic, racist, sexist or other inappropriate email at work.

This sounds pretty serious, but it seems that most email is a waste of bandwidth. A recent survey from Gartner classified no less than 34 per cent of internal business mail as "useless".


Nothing more than theft, theft I tell you>:

Re: Back in my day I'd of had you shot

Threaded: I've just done a search and certainly found quite a few using my version. I don't know what it is but yours just doesn't scan right to me.

A google vote is useless anyway as the internet is populated by retards!

I certainly *know* that I'd of is wrong!

Yeah, feckit, do a google!

..

Technically the 2 apostrophe version is logically correct, the apostrophe indicating the contraction of the word.
I don't think that i'd've is accepted usage though, so would have to settle for "i'd have".

SG in "pedantic git" mode.

Re: Back in my day I'd of had you shot

Spodly: Would you settle for a google vote?

Re: Back in my day I'd of had you shot

Id've or I'd've

Word doesn't seem to like any of 'em...

Ah, well!

I don't think the two apostrophe version scans right tho'
