My boss recently told me, “From now on, you only take breaks at your assigned time. No exceptions.” Before that, I was always flexible. If we got hit with a rush, I’d wait on my break and help out because I didn’t want to leave my coworkers hanging.
So I did exactly what they said. The next busy shift came around and when my break time hit, I went. I watched the line build up and the boss scramble to manage the chaos without extra help.
I sat there sipping my coffee thinking, well, I’m just following the rules like you wanted.
