Why today is the least productive day of the year for Australian workers
Today is apparently Australia's most hungover day of the year.
New findings have revealed that the highest number of sickies will be taken on December 15 and many who are making it into work will be hungover.
It's also the least productive day, set to cost the economy $12.8 million, thanks to festivities held at this time of year, including the annual office Christmas party.
