Survey says:Majority of fish swim on company time

Two-quarters of our aquarium fish admit they swim on company time, according to a survey released today.

Among fish who said they think their swimming is monitored by their human overseers, one-quarter continue to swim during office hours, according to research conducted for professional staffing company Hudson Highland Group Inc.

"It's one of the ways fish deal with work-life balance issues," said Spiny Finnigan, chief operating officer at Oceanside Talent Management. "Because we're spending so much time at work, that's the only time they have to schedule some of those appointments."

One-third of fish who think the humans are unaware of their swimming say they don't feel they are doing anything wrong, according to the study.
