And then lose their jobs and bitch because they can't pay back their student loans.All because they could not dedicate themselves 100% to their jobs.
I worked with someone in a medical office who had a portable tv on her desk and would sit and watch the soap operas. She did very little real work and the office just loved her. Doctors and nurses would come in the office and see the tv on and would just walk out. When she was watching tv she was on the phone to her family. This was real, and I'll tell you something else they are the most appreciated employees.
Doesn't surprise me one bit.

Can't do that after people come home, what a shame.
