Cyber Monday

Do you know next Monday is Cyber Monday? Do you know what Cyber Monday is? I didn't until a few years ago. The day after Thanksgiving is referred to as Black Friday, for it is the day that retailers hoped to become profitable, in other words get into the black, due to the start of the holiday shopping season. As you know, retailers offer good deals in order to lure shoppers into the stores. The Monday following that, dubbed Cyber Monday, is when consumers can find incredible deals at their favorite online retailers.

The difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is that many people are off from work on the day after Thanksgiving while most are back at their desks by Monday morning. Therefore many people who want to take advantage of those great Cyber Monday bargains might be tempted to do their shopping while at work. Since your employer is paying you to work, do you think that's really a good idea?

They could be shopping online while at work and on their lunch break.

With the way things are now – people don’t need to be shopping at work. If management is looking to get rid of people, I think they might pick the one who has nothing to do but shop online at the office . . .
