One of the more intriguing aspects of work life and the job industry is comparing how much people say they work versus how much they actually work.
Demanding maximum efficiency during 8- or 9-hour workdays is a great path toward stress and burnout. And yet, employees should fulfil their obligations and responsibilities that they’re (hopefully, very generously) paid for. It’s only fair.
Pretending to be busy while doing nothing all day long isn’t fair. Meanwhile, being genuinely productive is not the same as working every single minute of every hour at the office. Rest is good for efficiency.

Meanwhile, Work Time reports that a whopping 47% of employees check social media during work hours. On average, employees spend 2.35 hours per day on social media.
Employers in the United States lose between $483 billion and $605 billion due to lost productivity for various reasons every year.
For instance, a company with 300 employees may lose around $5.1 million each year due to time wasting that leads to productivity loss.

Moreover, poor communication costs companies around $26k per employee per year, as it leads to confusion, missed deadlines, and duplicated work.
Interestingly, freelancers average around 7 hours of productive work per day, as the link between effort and income keeps them focused.
On the flip side, “traditional” employees lose some productivity due to interruptions, meetings, and organizational friction.
