Hedgecutter Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I don't think smoke breaks take any more time out at my work than tea breaks do for others. I usually have 3-4 cups of tea or coffee over the course of a day, that probably takes me away as long as smokers spend away tbh. I'm now rather regretting not taking a mid-afternoon 15 min pint break when I used to have a job across the road from a pub. "Off for a drink of T...

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I'm on a day off so allowed to slack. Rest of you back to work. Unless you are on a smoke/coffee/shit break. Reported for anti-teaism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 You’re meant to take a comfort break every 2 hours or something like that anyway.If you need more cigarettes than that then you’re welcome to them. You might as well enjoy life before you die at 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone was smoking 20 a day it might be different but I've never understood people getting irate at someone going out for 2 minutes a couple of times for a smoke when nobody bats an eye lid at tea breaks, extended toilet breaks or all the other little things folk do across the day. My view is as long as they aren't taking liberties and they are getting their work done I'm not bothered if my staff take a couple of extra breaks for a smoke or a coffee. Good post. I smoke at work and i certainly dont take liberties and tbf my boss doesnt smoke but nips out for some fresh air whilst drinking his coffee occasionally. Swings and roundabouts and all that. People need to chill ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Fair enough. I'm mildly jubilant because Friday is a 2.30 finish here, I ran out of stuff to do at 11, so I've happily switched off and expect to be browsing P&B for the next couple of hours.

the jambo-rocker Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 On nightshifts, I tended to find that because I didn't have anyone hovering over my shoulder clocking how long I took for breaks or lunches that I could take as long as I damn well felt like, so long as I still got my work done. If anything, taking longer breaks me be more productive because I'd gotten all the procrastination out of my system. Personally, I don't see how this is any different with smoke, coffee or shite breaks for that matter. As an ex-smoker, when I was hovering quitting, I did find myself being more persuaded to keep smoking, if not for the excuse more that I could kill over an hour a day through work, but I would have dropped it in a heartbeat for six more days leave.

milton75 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hardly anyone at my work smokes these days, So it wouldn't make much difference to productivity here. That said, I'd be all for it, just because I'd enjoy watching the conflict.I'd go further and do it for tea and coffee too. I stopped drinking coffee a few years back, and even though I would only have one cup in the morning and one after lunch, I was astonished by how much of a difference not drinking it made to my peeing habits. I knew it was a diuretic, but didn't have a clue as to the degree. I'd be going for a piss maybe 6 times a day.These days, despite drinking loads of water, I only go once or twice a day. I hate the whole ceremony people do regarding getting a tea or coffee. Standing up, announcing that they're "gasping for a cuppa", etc. Then they toddle off to the kitchen to talk shit to other morons for 10 minutes while making it. Then they come back and drink it, making vacuous comments like "ahhhhh, that's better".Then they need a piss half an hour later. Then half an hour after that they do it all again.They should all be chained to their desks and forced to stay there all day. Working hard or reading P&B like me.
