Smoking breaks at work

[user2010]

are you for real? you don't know me, how do think it right or even acceptable to take the mickey out of me? i suggest you take a break from the internet because its obviously all a bit much for you and you have got over excited.

Calm down dear!
You`ll only aggravate your "condition"

Easy fella, you're neither funny nor doing yourself any favours!
On this forum we have something that we call 'respect'.
I suggest you look it up!

Someone on the same pay grade as you is messing about in the office or taking what you perceive to be allot of smoke brakes but his line manager is in another building. He does something different to you so you have no idea what he does and does not get through. How are you personally going to deal with that?

Why are you assuming everyone works in an office? Why are you assuming he does some different?
My point is if you are in a team without a line manager in the same location/building and someone is not pulling their weight by disappearing for cigarette breaks regularly why should you just ignore it?
Smoking isn't an illness it is a life choice.

Wow, just wow

I smoke at work. A colleague of mine doesn't. I sell 250 cars a year, he sells 180 (which is the industry standard). Who earns the company more money?

A smoking secretary types at 80 words per minute but her non smoking colleague types at 40. Who is the most productive?

Oooh! Does Smiffy have a smoking secretary? Lucky boy - you'll get your fingers burnt.

OK then...lets return to my original post...I am still surprised at the number of workers who do and who are allowed to take smoking breaks.

Wow, just wow

Given that my brother had to have major surgery and no longer has a large intestine due to the same condition as rooter I think your comments are bang out of order.

If you're a friend or a family member, there's a time and place (rooter has had friendly banter from me about it) but you clearly aren't so should wind it in

I don't mate. Just pointing out that it's not always as clear cut as it seems

Totally agree, hence why I took smokers out of my point, met a few people who had the ability to look extremely busy while doing nothing.
Smokers are the easy target as their perceived skiving is visible.

Wow, just wow

indeed.

the threads taken some intersting turns.
I smoked for 25+ years, no biggie if people go for fag breaks.

yes a wall of smoke. The door opens into a triangular inner car park. The door is in one corner of the triangle with a canopy above ( to stop pigeons crapping on you while you swipe in) the smoke just hangs in front of the door.

im surprised they are not embarrassed that nearly the whole building can see they are spending so much time outside smoking while everybody else is working. I'm talking about the ones that spend at least 10 mins out there 6 or 7 times a day.

How can you see them, if there is a wall of smoke?

should also be working rather than (trying to)watching the smokers.

Maybe you spend more time outside on ciggy breaks, so you get to the customers quicker..........
