SAN FRANCISCO—An area medical supply firm unveiled plans yesterday to waste both money and employees’ time via the internet. ”By entering ‘cyberspace,’ we can reduce worker productivity and increase expenses exorbitantly at the same time,” said Stanley Habert, CEO of Syrus Industries. The company has already seen results: “Employees waste up to 50 percent more time than before,” accountant Steve Piersall said. “All the more exciting is that this is costing us, in terms of modem purchases and web-server time, upwards of $80,000 per week.” Syrus may also go “on-line” with a “website.”
