What Italian employees of private and public companies and freelance professionals do at work "> Throw the first stone on the sinless ". So let's not make false moralists: everyone, managers and interns, self-employed and presidents, slaves and bosses, some more or less, love to waste some time at work thinking about something else . The Internet in this is formidable, you start to see something and, without realizing it, an hour has passed.
So, a little to help the Brunetta on duty and the scrupulous office chiefs, a little for statistical and goliardic spirit, I tell you what your colleagues are doing on the PC next to you and what are the favorite sites browsed in the office during working hours .
Let's see the 10 most visited sites at work, to spend or waste time, for pleasure, for passion, for habit or who knows what other reason.
1) The prince of the most viewed sites on the internet in general and most visited in offices is (or was) Facebook . I say it was because in many offices, this tool of the devil responsible for the drop in efficiency of companies, is inexorably blocked. There are those who rightly say; I argue that Facebook can also be used productively given the countless functions it has, even at a business level. However, it is true that Facebook is full of pastimes as never seen on a website: beautiful games, chat, the possibility of meeting beautiful girls or beautiful boys, looking for new friends, spreading news, gossip and more.
2 Instagram, Facebook's cousin, is another site that has become inveterate for a waste of time, where you can browse photos of beautiful girls and see comments and posts from VIPs and footballers.
2) YouTube is the site where you can watch videos and raise your hand who, at work, has not opened YouTube to see funny movies or to listen to some songs. Many times small groups of people are formed in the office rooms, one thinks: " who knows what they are doing, perhaps they are planning a new and decisive business plan to recover from the crisis " and instead they are seeing Ronaldo's goals. YouTube is also being blocked by companies, not just the intransigent ones.
3) Ebay and Amazon : people in the office think nothing but business, their own. Ebay and Amazon are the most used E-commerce sites in the world and it really becomes a stimulant for everyone to search for products or items sold at a much lower price than normal in the case of Ebay.
Above all, what makes you waste time are the auctions that force even the highest executives to interrupt crucial meetings in order to win an Iphone at half the price. Many then have their online store on Ebay, they buy and sell for good profits and you can't really blame them.
4) Repubblica.it and corriere.it are the most read online newspapers, in the morning, when you arrive at the office and turn on the computer and then, even after lunch.
Certainly at this point we can also name other important online newspapers including Tgcom and all the gossip that it carries, Messaggero and La Stampa to mention the main ones.
5) Gazzetta.it is the most visited sports site on Monday morning and after every cup football game. Watching sports news to get distracted is the most innocent and pleasant entertainment there is for a man.
6) Browser Games, on the contrary, are a drug in the true bad sense of the word and whoever gets caught behind these online games probably also risks being fired. For those who don't know them, browser games are strategic or RPG games, almost without graphics based on the time factor. For example, the farm is built and it takes one hour and 33 minutes; after an hour and a half then I have to reconnect and build something else so as not to lose ground against my opponents. Continuing in the game, if you even put a war in the middle against other people, the involvement risks to overcome the limits and becomes a real parallel job. We could also include online poker in this category, now legalized and a source of income for the best. Online flash games are less popular, too obvious and notable.
7) At work, one of the favorite activities to do is to look for another job . The search for employment never ends, perhaps looking for a higher salary or a more satisfying place and looking for work is certainly challenging. The curriculum is written only once, then corrected, however, often, in many recruiting sites, it must be rewritten from scratch, filling in many fields and a suitable cover letter must also be drawn up to hit the recruiter. Even looking for the right one among the many (not too many I have to say) advertisements published by companies requires attention and concentration.
8) Skype and Whatsapp : If you are seen with Facebook Messenger open, they get angry; if there is Skype or Whatsapp then everything is fine. Perhaps thanks to a more serious interface, without too many designs but Skype at work, in general, can be used and is not blocked by proxies or firewalls of corporate networks.
9) Emails such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail, therefore the best in the world, apart from the fact that, in general, they are linked to personal email accounts that do not have to do with work, today, they have functions in more that create many distractions. In general then checking every half hour if a new email has arrived is definitely an extra activity that distracts.
Off the charts we could include many other types of activities: from those that are merely a pastime of funny sites with jokes up to those who own a blog that updates daily.
Now I ask you: which favorite sites do you surf for relaxation, from the university computers or from the company PC, during working hours?
I am very curious about what I have left out ...
To conclude, I remember that those who have the tedious job of checking, can record and control the activities on the computers of others while those who are always on youTube or entertainment sites, can hide the internet, programs and windows by pretending to work.
