Just another cheap hat trick, goldbricking sure can sell the goods. A facade of the shiny stuff can fool a trusting audience and a distracted employer alike.

Paying folks to enjoy personal time on company time? No amount of sugar-coating can change that bottom line. Paint it any way you like—when it comes to affecting your business, goldbricking is as subtle as a lead balloon.
