Do you think offices today need a 10minute break to allow employees to surf the net??

(Do you think that one day, soon...they will introduce a "MAYBENOW break" of 15minutes a day?!)

London, Sept 11 (ANI): Bosses in Britian have decided to impose a new rule in the workplace which will allow employees a 'Facebook break' of 10 minutes a day.

The decision has been taken after a research suggested that Britain's economy is suffering thanks to workers surfing social networking sites, reports The Telegraph.iles Ridgeway, a leading consultant at Employment Law Advisory Services (ELAS) says Facebook is a "curse."

"They feel some staff are failing to do the job they're paid for because they're spending too much time on such websites," he said. "Some have said it appears to be a habit similar to smokers needing their fix of nicotine," he added. According to Ridgeway, social networking sites are not a part of workers "legal entitlement".

"In days past, staff would have gathered around the office tea trolley for a quick chat. Now, they can talk to friends on the other side of the globe from their desks," he said.

    I'm glad that my workplace does not allow any internet access during the working day. some of my colleagues would spend ages on it, if they had the chance, leaving the rest of us to pick up the slack.. I'm perfectly happy with using the internet at home, in my own free time. I don't surf many sites but do admit to being somewhat addicted to MAYBENOW !!
