Cyber Monday: alongside March Madness and the World Series

Kansas City Business Wire are reporting that Cyber Monday may affect worker productivity, today is that day and history has shown that it’s as busy as the World Series and March Madness days.

Online purchases today should hit some of the highest figures of the year and the loss that employers could make are also going to hit highest figures (around a $488 million loss in productivity).

Cyber Monday sees employees buy the latest video games, DVDs, toys, books and other items while at work. This figure is taken from an estimate of 68.6 million U.S. employees spending around 12 minutes using their works Internet to buy holiday gifts.

Although I already know many employees that already use more than that time browsing the web everyday.

Have/will you use the web to buy things online today?
