L.A. Employees Asked to Stop Watching Olympics Online
If the Olympics have been a solid distraction from working the past week or so, you’re not alone.
Apparently, they’re so popular in City Hall in Los Angeles that employees have been asked to curtail watching the Summer Games during office hours!
According to The Los Angeles Times, Randi Levin, the chief technology officer, sent an e-mail to city employees and asked them to stop watching online at work.
It sounds like the e-mail wasn’t just sent to boost workers’ productivity — the significant volume of online traffic started affecting city operations!
Low and behold, after receiving the e-mail, employees got the message loud and clear since the city’s computer system returned back to normal the following day.
