Is this News.Com Article it becomes quickly apparent that workers are spending too much time at work with nothing to do.
Perhaps it is time to implement shorter work weeks with less hours per day at work. Obviously workers have too much time at work to waste. The real reason may come down to "face time" where workers need to be present in case there is a problem or a manager needs something. This tends to be the real reason for the hours spent at work. However it seems like technology could easily solve these problems if we could get past the social barriers that still require "face time".
