The Stats on Slacking

Surprise, surprise! The average American worker slacks off about 1.7 hours per work day. Almost half of them spent this time unproductively on the Internet (sorry, guys! I know Neatorama's not helping your productivity!), 1/5th socialized instead of worked, and the rest ... Oh, I'll finish this post l8r.

Why don't they do a study on how much time America Employers waste their employees time?

Useless meetings, conference calls, video conferencing.

Useless training (especially safety).

Endless reports that never get read (or acted upon).

And the biggie - how many hours AFTER the employees shift do the employer nag them via email/text/voice?

Aaargh. I've got a similar problem for a customer. They want a very large telly stuck on the wall in a room with plasterboard walls. Only plasterboard. No studs. The oak timbers are close enough together for there to be no need for studs just at the point where they want the telly. Can I screw into the oak? No.
So...I think it's out with the welder and make something that will transfer the load to the floor - but slim...with luck I can disgujise it in the tunking that will carry the cables to the telly. That way the wall only has to take a tiny fraction of the weight.
