This Is No Time to Waste Time

Employers are cutting employees in record numbers and making do with less people on their payrolls. To that end, this is no time to waste time at work. Each person must do his or her share to keep productivity and profits up. When you are at work—work. Avoid the following timewasters.

• Using office phones and copiers for personal business.
• Wasting time on personal business.
• Misusing the Internet.
• Chatting idly with coworkers.
• Showing up for work late.
• Leaving work early before quitting time.
• Coming back from breaks and lunches late.
