[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1140265"] I'm actually extremely happy with my working situation despite an extremely few amount of obstacles thrown in front of me the past 8 months. "Noisy [...] warehouse environment"... how exactly does putting even MORE sound into your ears work to fix this problem? I think you meant to say that it helps some people focus on their work but I'm not going to pretend to be a mind reader. I'm not really trying to argue here but when a person jumps on the defensive in reply to my post I feel I've got no other choice but to play offense. Also, after reading about breaks here I spoke to my supervisor this morning. Breaks in my building are case-by-case, apparently. If someone needs a smoke, they let it be known and they're off the belt ASAP. Bathroom? Same scenario. We just don't shut down entire belts to grab a 10min break on a 3.5hr day. And in retrospect, that's absolutely true. I've never been flat out denied when I tell my supe I need to go handle something... worst case scenario: I've been told to wait for [insert random Preloader] to come cover me for a few minutes before I leave my trucks. I feel like if they shut a belt down for a 10min break, a good portion of employees might clock out and not come back (especially the more-recently-hired). [/QUOTE]
