On my way into work today, I heard a news story about the lost productivity that will be experienced by companies with distracted employees talking about March Madness and figuring out their betting pools. After reading Barbara’s blog entry today, I decided to try to find that news clip in PodZinger because I couldn’t remember the exact number. So I typed “march madness lost productivity” and lo and behold, it came up with the dollar figure in the snippet in the first and third entries, both from CNN. The figure that CNN is using is 3.8 billion dollars of lost productivity! So I guess everyone will be standing around the water cooler or blogging
