Many Young Employees Would Consider Quitting if Facebook was Banned

A recent study of 18-24 year olds has revealed that 39% would consider quitting their jobs if their office banned Facebook. Along with that number 21 percent say they would be annoyed by such a ban.

Hmm… using my amazing mathemathical genius, I have deduced that 60% of 18-24 year old office workers actually use Facebook, and use it enough to miss it quite a bit if they couldn’t use it in the office. I’m only a few years above that 24 year old mark and I have yet to ever use Facebook and still don’t see the value of most of the social networks out there (ok, so I used LinkedIn for a bit, but couldn’t care less about being able to access it at work).

I can understand being slightly annoyed at your favorite social network being blocked at work, but to actually consider quitting over it? Maybe they don’t really like their job in the first place or something… I just don’t get it.

File that under quitbook.
