Your sales staff on the road may hang out for excessively long times in sports restaurants.

An MSN Survey reportedly found that 56 percent of all workers planned to spend at least one hour on “Madness” happenings, from television to sports bars, and 86 percent of them will be devoting time to updating their brackets.
