Guy hires woman for £5-an-hour to SLAP him if he uses Facebook

A COMPUTER programmer has hired a woman to SLAP him if he uses Facebook at work - in a bid to boost his productivity.

And he reckons employing a £5-an-hour worker called Kara has helped quadruple his daily output.

IT whiz Maneesh Sethi placed an advert on classifieds website Craigslist to recruit someone willing to monitor what he gets up to on his laptop.

Maneesh, from San Francisco, said he felt embarrassed after calculating he wasted around 19 hours every week looking at social media websites so decided to take action.
