Career Advice: Don't spend half your work day on facebook

4 hours a day on facebook!?!?

A Goldman Sachs trader in the UK named ?Charlie? was warned by his employer that his visits to Facebook on company time were to stop. He spent, apparently, over 500 hours on Facebook in a six month period. That works out to about 4 hours per day.

Unwisely, perhaps, Charlie posted the warning email on his Facebook account, saying ?It?s a measure of how warped I?ve become that, not only am I surprisingly proud of this, but in addition, the first thing I did was to post it here, and that losing my job worries me far less than losing facebook ever could.?

Indeed.

I really wish I was a Facebook stockholder.

He probally had the page open/minimized, but it still kept the clock going. If that was the case I spent 8-10 hours a day on ATOT/Facebook/nhl.com and political crossfire...all in on day

4 hours on Facebook??? That doesn't make sense to me... man, I must be getting old.

There's a few people on my friends list who seem to post every single detail of their life on there. When I log in, there will always be a huge string of news updates from this person reporting every little thing they have done.

Why these people feel the need to announce their life to the world I have no idea.

good thing ATOT is nothing like that "Facebook" thingy
