Truly, i do think it an intentional product of, from my limited perspective, the american education system - we’re trained against taking action, and instead to only ever dare to request and maybe potentially receive at the whim of whoever is in authority
Bathroom and hall passes, “dead lines” and due dates, raising hands to speak, etc
Some of it is certainly practical, but, the result is somebody getting mad at another for taking a break because they didnt have corpo-daddy say they could
If you want a break, and know the business’s or whoevers you care about’s goal wont fail if you did so, then be a free person who controls themselves, and take the break
I knew a guy at my old workplace who could just take unlimited breaks and thats what he did. They werent super long though. Like 20 or 30 minute breaks every 2 or 3 hours depending on what he felt like.
Felt like I was seeing the twilight zone when I saw him doing that…
That’s what I did at my last factory job. Go out on smoke breaks, walk around the parking lot until the break is over.
Nobody ever called me on it, but just in case I always had a vape I picked up off the side of the road ready to claim it was my reason for being out with the rest.

Good, you shouldn’t get a break specifically for fostering an addiction.
Smoke or kids or the want to scratch your bunghole, you should be able to take whatever breaks you want as long as the work gets done.
Sure, but it’s pretty commonplace to offer smoke breaks with no equivalent breaks being offered to non smokers. It’s stupid as shit.
You’d be surprised how many breaks you can get if you just start taking them.

Yeah, a lot of ‘smoke breaks’ aren’t officially sanctioned by the company. The smokers just take them, and what’s the company going to do about it?

Just join them and stand outside for 5 min.
Just not downwind of the cancer-stench

Can you put the empty vodka bottle down for a minute and type out an understandable response?

But, as a rule, I don’t really like blowing smokers. Smoker cum legit tastes much worse than normal.
Exactly!
