Depends on Definition
I don't think they are talking about non-focused work talk such as 'hey, Joe what have you been working on?'. I think they are more talking about the 'hey, Frank did you watch the big game last night?' or 'How about that Suzy in accounting?' types of conversations.
When it comes down to it, does it really matter what categories of time wasting people partake in while at work? I know I waste little work time on Facebook because I don't have an account (not to say I don't waste work time in general). Would it be useful to say, 'We know you're going to waste time at work, but we will be monitoring you to make sure it doesn't go over an hour per day.'?
