"Last Word"-Cyber Monday
Friday, November 23, 2007JEFF YASTINE: And finally tonight, after black Friday comes cyber Monday. A recent survey shows that 46 percent of working Americans expect to shop online this Monday, while they are at work. In fact, 11 percent plan to spend nearly an hour of their work time shopping online this Monday. A different poll by careerbuilder.com found that employees expect to spend two or more hours hunting for bargains. But a word to the wise, that same career builder survey finds that half of all employers report they monitor employees' Internet usage. So Paul, if you must shop online while you're at work, shop online during your lunch hour or during your break time.
KANGAS: Or you may find yourself shopping for a new job.
YASTINE: That's right and not being able to afford all the holiday goodies as the year comes to a close.
