Christmas slow down is here.

According to an article in this mornings Telegraph, an estimated 9m workers will mentally switch off even though they are still on company's time

Time in the office will be spent on searching for gifts for Christmas, booking holidays and gossiping about who's backside was photocopied at the Xmas party. Meanwhile lunches are longer and more boozy. After work parties and get together's lead to the late mornings.

Most employees admit that seeing colleagues disappear before going home time, encourages them to skive off as well.
