Tea blags
Have you ever been in an office where one person always makes the tea and coffees? Some people may think that they are saints in looking out for everyone out in your workplace, but a new study has worked out that while they’re making the beverages, they are actually skiving their work, but up to eight days work a year.
The shocking statistic emerged in analysis of the biggest workplace time wasters in a TikTok survey. Tea makers were not alone in getting more than three weeks additional ‘holiday’. Other time wasting activities included 33 minutes a day by scrolling online, six days for smokers and three days for workers who always arrive at work late.
Dr Tim Bond, of the Tea Advisory Panel, however, defended the drinking of tea. “Drinking tea is not lost work time as the time allows for reflection and talking about work.”
