My last job was bad for this but I'd eithet go out with them or sit and watch TV until they got back. I tried to go for at least one dump each shift as well so it never really bothered me. People who smoke have less than half a brain. There is scientific evidence to support this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I remember having an argument with my boss in a previous job because I went across to the Post Office to post a letter (this was quite a while back!) and took about 5 minutes. The job was really inflexible and apparently I wasn't supposed to leave the premises. She didn't take kindly to my pointing out that the smokers were all off the premises and took far longer than I did, apparently pretend addictions to going to the Post Office don't count. I didn't actually have any issue with the smokers at all but it was the double standards I hated. I actually don't mind the smokers at all in my current job because they are much more flexible and don't mind if you have to nip to the shops as long as you do your work and don't take the piss.

welshbairn Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Smokers contribute around £12 billion to the Treasury and die younger so are a lesser drain on the care system. We should get fucking medals from a grateful nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob the tank Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Add up all the sneaky smoke breaks over the year and subtract it from the smokers holiday entitlement, then see how they like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaa Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I must be a multitasker, I can smoke and work at the same time. I would say that c***s on their phones during working hours are worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/japanese-firm-piala-inc-tokyo-non-smokers-extra-six-days-holiday-cigarette-break-a8028541.html Japanese firm gives its' non-smoking employees an extra 6 days holidays per year, in lieu of the time that they don't use for smoke breaks. Caused a bit of heads gone moment with a colleague who smokes, when I mentioned this earlier today. Genius or crap policy? A winning policy. Who'll be first to suggest it in the glorious U.K.?Gets my vote. Stick the knife into those fucking smokers again and give me an extra paid week off.

Jmothecat2 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. If someone was smoking 20a 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.

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 The Japanese have some of the stingiest leave regulations in the World so anything that boosts workers' rights should be applauded.I'm currently trying to give up smoking so the idea of being rewarded with an extra six days off would be a nice incentive.
