study at workplace!

@Zee I like How you think!

@mcricky, @gary

I believe that the correct term (at least in North America) is “time theft” and you are not alone in committing this offence. I conducted a poll of candidates who have a job, and 110% responded that they are doing the exact same thing.

Note: The results of this poll are considered accurate within a range of +/-10% 19 times out of 20.

It’s a hard one @mcricky… does your employer give you study leave for the CFA?

But you’re starting very early. Don’t worry, you’ll have sufficient time with such consistent effort.

“Alternate productivity initiative”.

I’m in a customer service job, so I quite often have an extra 2-5 minutes between customers where I can’t get any real work done, so I use studying to kill the time. I never whip out the books, though. I either practice writing down formulas or go on the forums or something.

I seldom can do it, as I can’t focus if I know it’s not something I can/should do, or perhaps it’s a fear of being spotted?

Anyways @mcricky, @gary – @christine wrote an excellent piece on this which hopefully helps on studying for the CFA during the workweek.

@marc “Time theft” now you’ve made it sound wrong I strangely feel compelled to do it as often as possible.

I like to think of it as an “enhancement break”

I either practice writing down formulas or go on the forums or something.

You mean this forum 😉 :))

@Mcricky i too am a naughty worker and sneak study into my day. Its amazing how fascinating the Ethics chapters become when i’m at work.
so glad i have the ebooks makes it so much easier to hide on my desktop

Time theft is too heavy a term for so innocuous an act… 🙂
