Black Friday Shopping From Work

If you're not joining the Black Friday shoppers or if you have a holiday shopping list that is, like mine, way too long for the amount of time you have to shop, you might have thought about doing your holiday shopping from work.

According to CareerBuilder's holiday shopping from work survey, 50% of workers plan on doing some shopping from the office.  That's down slightly from 52% last year.

Before you start adding presents to your shopping cart, you might want to consider the consequences of shopping (and socializing) on company time, or you might end up looking for a new job. What you do online when you're doing it from work, is your employer's business and not much of it is private.
