cyberloafing
Workplace internet goofing
Cyberloafing is using work internet access for personal activities—checking social media, shopping online, reading news—instead of doing your job.
The term blends cyber with loafing (idling).
Studies show employees spend up to two hours a day cyberloafing.
Also called cyberslacking.
