Rafael. I heard this on the radio today. As I recall the study showed that those who partook of Facebook while at work demonstrated a 9% higher rate of productivity.

I think I would take issue with that although there are people who can work at a higher rate but must goof off at times.

I used to have a guy like that working for me. When he went at it he could do twice as much as any two of his cohorts put together. And on his average day he would double the output of the number 2 worker. And several times a day he would lean back pull out a cigarette and contemplate the ceiling. I never ask him to change his behavior.

And when another worker complained that he wasn't staying at like he was I told that worker that if he matched superman then he could goof off also.

But this guy was abnormal. And the experiment could have been bias by a couple of individuals like him.
