a half hour fag break?
sounds like a very lax place you work for! ten minutes max for me and even then i can feel the glares from my boss when i walk past him on my way back into the office

I am quite lucky.
I have the sort of boss who doesn't really care how and when I do it, so long as I get my job done... which I almost always nearly manage to do, kind of.

So if all you had to do was get the job done.....
you were wasting your own time? No wonder you quit.

I still have to be in the office from 9 to 5.
And as I'm left to my own devices with very little interference I'm pretty much free to waste as much time as I want... and blag a little bit every now and then.

Good for your boss!
Why the hell should you get paid for not working when the non-smokers who will not have so much time off sick as well are doing your work. I say ban all smoking breaks

Hear hear!
I completely agree- or they could at least give non-smokers an extra week or so off a year to make up for the lost time.

I can't speak for everyone.
I take so little time off sick (probably one day a year, tops) that that argument has never really worked as far as I'm concerned.

Either way, there's no one to do my job when I'm not doing it; whether I'm not doing it because I'm ill, smoking, or just because I'm very lazy indeed.
