Getting tempted to shop from work?

The economic climate is frightful, but the urge to shop is getting so delightful. Right now our jobs have many anxieties because of the economic downturn (at least for many of us). Who can blame you for wanting an escape?


But if keeping your job is a priority right now (as it should be for most people), then consider avoiding the onslaught of online sales while you are working.

Even on Cyber Monday (Dec. 1), which some experts say could be the biggest day for retail sales this year.

Don’t just take my word for it, check out the article “Online Shopping on the Job,” which offers some tips about how to avoid risks if you’re thinking of mixing a little shopping with work.

Remember that your employer may monitor your email and Web-surfing activity, and there may be a stated policy against using work equipment for personal use. Big Brother is alive and well in the workplace!
