Over at CIO, the article 20 amazing, amusing and alarming IT "facts" has a few interesting tidbits in it. This quote caught my eye:
"A new report warns that the cost from lost productivity at work related to the new NFL season could add up to $10.5 billion."
(the article is originally from Network World, but they have that annoying "page turn" ad on their version).
Not sure I buy their math:
"The average fantasy sports player earns about $38 per hour and based on an average of nearly 1.19 hours per week dealing with their team during work hours, companies lose about $45.22 in wages per worker each week"
In my experience, folks who earn ~$80k a year and can get away with spending unsupervised time in the Internet put in a lot more than 40 hours a week- so the number is questionable- but it still points out a lack of control of employee web surfing.
