Here's an Excuse If You Get Caught at Work Doing Christmas Shopping Online

Over the next month, you're probably going to do some online shopping . . . and you're probably going to do it at work. But what should you do if you get caught?

Here's an excuse you can use: It's GOOD for the company. Because if you do a little online shopping at work, you don't have to LEAVE the office to buy stuff . . . and that would take a lot longer and kill your productivity a lot more.

According to a new survey, 19% of people who've been caught online shopping at work have used that excuse . . . although we don't know how many of their bosses bought it. After all, why would you leave the office to shop in the first place?

On the bright side, we DO know that most bosses don't actually care that much if you do a little shopping. Only 15% of people who've been caught say they got in trouble.

The survey also found one in four people say their company blocks access to shopping sites from work computers.
