Workplace rules????

[gone fishin]

If you are hired to work for someone you should do just that. They pay you to do their work, not your stuff.

Jenn,

I believe if you check the very last page of the hand book it CLEARLY states that you can do just about anything you like while on company time as long as you don't get caught.
Unfortunately, most companys remove the very last page so that we, as employees cannot take advantage of those opportunitys, but just know that they exist and are there for you at any time.

I used to take smoke breaks outside with the people that smoked. This one time, a manager came out and asked what I was doing.....I said, "taking a smoke break"....he said, "but you don't smoke!!! Get back inside!!".....so I had to start smoking in order to get that extra break. Now I'm sue-ing the company for my addiction. ...See...you can't lose when you use the "Force" against them.

gone fishin must be a business owner, disregard his remarks....he probably ripped that page out of his hand book too.

I like the way you think.

I know that feeling. Half of our department smokes.. Every 90 mins or so they are out there for 10-15 mins..

and I get looks for walking to dunkin donuts occasionally to grab a coffee (generally back in 10 mins)... AND I usually work thru lunch..

blah

I'll second that sentiment......They pay you for 40 hours and that is what you should give them.

Yeah, I gotta agree with that one too....50 hours is a short week for me

Where do they have 40 hour workweeks?

[Fishpart]

Don't worry about doing personal work on company time, someone else will take care of what you are supposed to be doing. Most somewhat skilled workers only cost their employers about $0.50/minute pay and benefits.

My wife is a teacher and she thinks she has a full time job. I tried to tell here that she has a part time job because she only works 30 hours per week and that most people work 60-70 hours per week....she did not get it.

She works hard during that time but she did not understand that MOST people consider working 30 hours a week a part time job.

not to mention teachers have the most time off in a year ( summer and every holiday and snow day )

I'm married to a retired high school spanish teacher. I used to try to tell her things like this. My advice is; just let it go because eventually you are going to piss her off and it's not worth it!

being a teacher is a hard gig . you want to smack the little bugger but rules say otherwise and mom and dad are useless tree huggers who would never use a switch to disipline the little bugger . some kids are so dumb you get frustrated to the point of exploding . I wouldnt do it unless I was the casting coach or shop teacher .
