| Abstract | It used to be easy to spot the office shriker - he was the one with his feet up, reading a novel, or incessantly talking. But today, the computer-games invasion makes it difficult for managers to catch employees wasting valuable time. And sneaking up behind him won't help either. Nowadays, games are equipped with "boss keys" - whenever the boss approaches, simply press a button and the game will be covered by a spreadsheet. To employers chagrin, it is easy to acquire and install computer games. Just ask any agent who is installing a software programme, and, more likely than not, he will install a couple of games free of charge. And it's just as simple to copy the programme and pass it on to others, so the whole office can join in. |
