A Goldman Sachs trader named “Charlie” was warned by his employer that his visits to Facebook on company time were to stop. He spent over 500 hours on Facebook in a 6 month period. That works out to 4 hours per day.

Unwisely, Charlie posted the warning email on his Facebook account, saying “It’s a measure of how warped I’ve become that, not only am I surprisingly proud of this, but in addition, the first thing I did was to post it here, and that losing my job worries me far less than losing facebook ever could.”
