March Madness Business Losses

I find this article topic very interesting in the fact that even professionals in the highest level still goof off at work. In this article, it explains how the managers just take the hit and have to realize that their co-workers do watch the NCAA games and fill out brackets at work. I think this is the way it should be. Managers are supposed to be the most flexible people in the business. And if you think about the loss of $134 million, it rely isn't that much in a business setting - values fluctuate every day. As for the article I found, it is against the idea of employees watching games and focusing the attention on the madness. CEO Robert Tuchman at Upper West Side firm Goviva says he gets pissed when his employees watch the games, even though he did it himself back when he was working his ways up the ranks. He says it's obvious when someone is trying to hide it (Bracket-Busting). The article suggests that you be honest with your employer about wanting to watch the game. In my opinion, this issue is just people being people and wanting to be entertained. People still get distracted every three minutes even in the months that March Madness isn't on, so distraction will always be present. I don't see a huge problem with it.
