A new study published by researchers at the Wharton School of Business reveals that U.S. employees waste 2 million hours every year by spending time with their friends and family.
PHILADELPHIA—A new study published Tuesday by researchers at the Wharton School of Business found that each year, U.S. employees waste 2 million hours spending time with their friends and family.
