[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2213104, member: 14176"] Most of the time they don't want us breaking trace by more than a mile one way to lunch. The term that I have usually heard in other instances is "reasonable". Each management team has a different interpretation of "reasonable". Had a center manager, who is now our Division Manager, call a driver in the office because she came to an intersection where if she went left she would stay in trace, but instead took a right and went to McDonald's about a 1/4 mile down the road. He contended that the moment she broke trace, her lunch started and in turn she had extended her lunch by 4 minutes. I told him (in a more eloquent way) that he was nuts. He then told me that we needed to grieve it to see who was right. We declined, but I made him a deal, one that I have made with him on several other occasions. I offered to be the "guinea pig" and would mirror the same scenario for the next week and that he would need to take progressive discipline on me for subsequent days until I was no longer whole, so we could go to the panel for final resolution. He declined, again, as he must have realized his position would likely not be viewed as "reasonable". [/QUOTE]
