I know none of you are guilty of this because all of you are hard working Americans. That is how you ask a politically correct question where it does not offend anyone . I worked for years supervising employees and watching employees in other departments. What I observed was how much time was abused by employees doing these things: too many smoke breaks, rest room breaks, paying personal bills, personal phone calls, searching internet, personal e-mails, eating snacks or drinks, personal conversations with fellow employees, outside employees would drive 15 minutes to a restaurant take 1 hour lunch then drive 15 minutes back to job site, after leaving office each morning would stop at store to get drink or eats, stop numerous times a day at store to get drink ,stick their trucks so they would have to wait for someone to come pull them out , leaving office late and getting in too early , Example: Employee makes $15 an hour = .25 a minute, 30 minutes a day wasted time =$7.50 a day stolen time X 5 days a week = $37.50 a week X 52 weeks = $1950 a year stolen time , then when raise time or bonus comes he think he deserves a raise or bonus but he has already gotten a $1950 bonus . This is what I observed in my 42 years in the work force, it is bad when done at a personal company, but it is worse when that persons salary is being paid for by the tax payers, they are stealing from you and themselves.
