Why Facebook addiction is a no-go in the workplace

Though you probably don't spend all of your workday in the stairwell or the bathroom, the reason why a lot of employers are establishing policies that ban sites like Facebook is the loss of productivity. One often-cited study published in July 2009 by Nucleus Research involved a small sample of 237 employees and the resulting loss of productivity was a meager 1.47 percent. Since then, other studies, including one from the University of Melbourne, concluded that "workplace Internet leisure browsing" can actually improve workers' concentration.
However, a new career may still be in your best interests, considering what Brent Coker from the University of Melbourne told PCWorld.com about people like you: "Those who behave with Internet addiction tendencies will have a lower productivity than those without." Best to find a different course and embrace a career that wants you--and your high-achieving Facebook profile--just the way you are.
