Millions of American workers are preparing to pounce on deals from their desks on Cyber Monday, one of the holiday season’s busiest days.
More than half of employees – 3 in 5 full-time employees – plan to scout Cyber Monday deals while on the clock this year, according to a new national survey of 1,000 full-time workers that CouponFollow shared exclusively with USA TODAY.
For these tab-toggling workers, the dopamine rush of deal-hunting will temporarily tank productivity. Seven in 10 workers say they don’t feel guilty because “everyone does it.”
Scoring a few deals can be a pick-me-up during the holidays when many people are overwhelmed by the competing demands of family and work. On-the-clock shopping can also deliver a jolt of accomplishment sometimes missing from the workday.
