So many people secretly watch Netflix at work

Yes, this is one in the category ‘you don't do that’. Is your colleague completely in her focus mode with her headphones on? That you will never know for sure from now on. Because something is going on.

Something quite serious actually. Where we used to only watch television when we were lying on the couch and being good at home, that is now quite different. We only watch television digitally now. We all love Netflix. The big advantage of Netflix: you can just as well watch it on your laptop. Most people watch it in bed or on the couch or on the train. But it doesn't stop there. The office is the new spot for Netflix. When you're completely into Casa de Papel or The Handmaid’s Tale... Well, then it's quite tempting for many to quickly watch one mini episode at work. You want to know who survives that bomb explosion and who accidentally doesn't make it.

Now research shows: at least one in four Netflix viewers has no problem watching an episode or two at the office. A quarter of the people. How is that possible? The researchers don't specify. Whether it happens on a tablet, personal laptop, or just daringly on the company's computer... People pretend to be super busy and have no time for chitchat. No, they are working hard, bringing in their money. With the new episode of Riverdale. Binging during office hours: it can't get crazier.

Not only can you watch via the work computer, of course; every series can also be streamed via your phone. People do that too. Even in the toilet: at least seven percent of people watch Netflix during the big business. That can also happen at work. Peeing and watching television on the boss's time: unbelievable, we already said that, right?

Alright. Guys, let this be a trend that quickly blows over. Otherwise, you have nothing to do on the weekend, right? At least 17 percent occasionally misses a stop because of Netflix. Well, when you're just so into that exciting climax scene...
