I forgot about Facebook because I always check it on my phone, not at my desk, but I would think lots of people check at their desk. </p> <p>@JoJoGirl: yes I have totally had chats by the actual watercooler... Although sometimes they are actually about work and its not just wasting time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-people-used-to-be-more-productive-before-youtube-and-email#post-494702 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:50:33 +0000 tororojo 494702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bazinga!
