Is the wasting of time at work by female teachers and employees—due to side conversations and phone calls, which leads to delays in reviews or failure to complete tasks—considered a betrayal of trust and does it fall under the characteristics of hypocrisy?

The time designated for work belongs to the employer, and wasting it or not utilizing it for the benefit of the work is considered a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of trust. This is because the employee is a private hire (ajir khass), and the benefit derived from a private hire is owned by the hirer. It is feared that someone possessing these characteristics (lying, breaking promises, betraying trust) may gradually descend into major hypocrisy (nifaq akbar).
