Short stretches can really accumulate. Did you know, for instance, that if someone comes back from lunch nine or ten minutes late every day, he (or she) will take the equivalent of free week of paid vacation per year? And similarly, one IT services and technology company believes social networking is costing UK businesses $2.25 billion each year.
