Just don't take as job if the boss ain't a sports fan. Mine would not only go to the Sports bar with a few of us for a couple hours on Thurs and Fri, but he would pay as well.
One surefire way to decrease productivity during March Madness would be to make it a national holiday. There are millions of people that don't give a crap about MM. Giving them a holiday further tanks productivity. How is this even a fucking article?
