Okay this has been really bugging me at my work since I have started there. I will try and make this short. So almost all the people I work with in my department smoke cigs. theres about 5 people who do not.
Okay so. I sit and do my work everyday and such now they take approx 12 Cig brakes a day... Maybe more and they go out as a group to. So you think 3min to smoke and id say its a little longer then that. so say 4ish min. Now they have to get up walk outside smoke then come in, they grab water then go back to their stations or whatever and get back to what they were doing.
Okay so its about 6 min of time wasted say... so like 30min a week they get from smoking free.
2 hours a month= paid from smoking so there getting 24 hours of pay a year for smoking.
I don't get it. I don't smoke so its not like i can just light up a cig.
If I said hey im going outside or stop what im doing just to stand there and someone comes over and goes wayne, do some work.. Id say im taking my non- smoke break... yadda yadda.. now how would this be fair? even my manager guy smokes and stuff and it sucks becuase this happens at like everyones job. There getting paid to smoke while other people are still doing work.
If I ever got fired for not opting to performance or whatever I could so use this to backfire at them becuase it's totally true, It would lead for a well lawsuit if you did get fired becuase you took (MANY breaks)....
What are your thoughts on this? It really pisses me off. I was thinking of emailing someone higher up in my company and addressing the issue... but that could be a bad idea then again its very not so... even my parents agree and feel the same way
so yeah..........
