该项由在线薪酬公司网站开展的在线调查共有2057名雇员参与。调查发现，每10名员工中约有6人承认自己在上班时浪费了时间。在一个典型的8.5小时工作日中，一般员工会浪费1.7个小时。Personal Internet use topped the list as the leading time-wasting activity according to 34 percent of respondents, with 20.3 percent then listing socializing with co-workers and 17 percent conducting personal business as taking up time.

科尔曼在接受记者采访时说：“我认为这是经济发展的结果。公司业务更多、需要处理的事情更多，员工们已没有多余的时间去考虑如何打发时间了。”
