<blockquote>Fantasy football is one of many potential online distractions that can reduce workplace productivity. But its rapid rise in popularity, labor experts said, makes it a growing concern. A recent study by Challenger Gray & Christmas Inc., a Chicago-based business consulting firm, reported nearly 37 million people nationwide spend almost one hour a week at work managing their fantasy teams, costing employers as much as $1.1 billion a week in lost productivity. </p> The 17-week NFL regular season stretching from September through December, according to the study, results in a fourth-quarter $18.7 billion productivity loss. </p></blockquote> Does Challenger Gray & Christmas ever publish studies about how much free time employers cost their employees? It must be in the billions of hours a year. I consider reading about sports on the internet to be an inalienable right of the workplace, and I resent anyone who suggests otherwise. </p> LOL, I wonder how accurate this piece of BS is? Fantasy Football is here to stay, at work or off work. DEAL WITH IT EMPLOYERS!!!</p> Source: http://www.footballnews-247.com</p> </p>
