If you're shopping online today and you spot a great deal - POST IT!!
"Black Friday" is traditionally the busiest shopping day of the year as millions of people look to take advantage of big sales. But the Monday after Thanksgiving, or "Cyber Monday" as it's come to be known, is giving "Black Friday" a run for its money.
"Cyber Monday" is becoming the biggest online shopping day of the year, but it's also becoming one of the least-productive days of the year according to employers.
Everybody goes back to work on Monday, which means that in order to take advantage of online sales, workers have to do it on company time.
According to a poll, nearly half of employers around the country block access to online shopping sites. 34 percent allow access but monitor for excessive use. Only 14 percent of companies allow unrestricted access.
Those who allow access to online shopping sites estimate that employees spent about three hours a week shopping online.
