The subject became a topic of discussions on the Reddit social media platform, after a woman, at her first service in Romania, heard negative comments from colleagues, who criticized her that during her walk.
“I have an office job with 9 – 6 program, one hour lunch break at noon, 3-4 days a week going to the office. The volume of work is not very large, the team is large, there are no overtime or other heizures. VII, you do your job, you go home. Standard.
I am a little lucky that in front of the block to the office I fix 7 minutes on foot. 10 If I catch the traffic light on the red. But that means I do not get to take my steps and, as I like to move and I do not always have time to do it after the office, a profit of lunch break to get rid of it.
Most of the time I come with a pack at home. I finish eating in a maximum of 20 minutes, I make a coffee and I go out. The office is on the river bank, I walk about 20-30 minutes, I clear my brain and return to the office.
Recently I have heard words through colleagues that they stay and work and do not walk like me.
That meal time is unpaid and, as far as I know, I should not count on anyone and I am not obliged to stay in the office.
Do I do something wrong? Is this mentality? It’s my first office job in Romania and I don’t really realize how people think in the office ”, she told what the situation is.
“You are a little shortened their minds to Romanians when you start doing these”
In a short time, the comments began to flow, several people complaining about the fact that they received complaints about how they spend their lunch break. We give you some of them.
“Yes, you are a little short-circuit to Romanians when you start doing these. And I, when I returned to the country, was holding the meetings in the plot in front of the desk when it allowed us the time. Everyone who heard this initially inflamed until they tried and then saw that it was cooler to stay in the fresh air than in neo and air conditioning.
We go to the principle that you are productive only if you are with C..u in the ‘office chair “, someone commented.
“That’s how I used to do a former job at the corporation and managed by the manager that the other colleagues eat quickly and return to work. I told him directly that I am not interested in what the others do in the break. It is best to ignore them and see yourself ”, He advised someone else who opened the discussion.
“Look for your contract and make sure you write there 9-18 with an hour’s lunch break … as it writes in principle on any contract and, after you find it, you start to make fun of your colleagues who work an extra hour for free”, It’s another recommendation.
“Purpose them to work for those who know what Elon Musk, who does not care about them as black under the nail. And if they do not belong to the rights they already have, they will not see others. On the contrary. If the bosses see that they work that the fools for an extra hour, without being paid, will think what they can take, may receive some increases or prime on this ”, It’s another comment.
“At the first job I had a break 1h, I was doing what my muscle wanted without commenting. I was solved problems on the bank, doctor appointments. The company was Italian and when I went to Italy to the mother company, I saw that they had a 1h and 30 min break. There it was normal for the world to go to the table, go shopping or stay in the park to read a book. Do not take into account what the colleagues say, the lunch break is not paid, go out for steps ”, says someone else.
