All of us staffers at Abraham Harrison LLC work on our own so all of us could spend all day on Facebook. I like to think we’re all adults here; however, according to the BBC, most employers as well as most employees are children. What do you think? Limit, block, or unlimited?

Workers who spend time on sites such as Facebook could be costing firms over £130m a day, a study has calculated.

According to employment law firm Peninsula, 233 million hours are lost every month as a result of employees “wasting time” on social networking.

The study – based on a survey of 3,500 UK companies – concluded that businesses need to take firm action on the use of social networks at work.

Some firms have already banned employees from accessing Facebook.
