[QUOTE="drazzy93, post: 2514190, member: 64619"] Yep I definitely wouldn't just sit down after an hour. That's just nothing in comparison to my 8+ hour shifts. When I started to sit down almost 6 hours had passed so it really pissed me off that my PT supervisor acted like I was being a lazy :censored: for not wanting to risk injuring myself. Then you try to say "Is anyone else sitting down?" when none of these :censored: people have been working as many hours as I have been that day. Just such a :censored:bag and STUPID thing to say. During my job, I'm bending over, getting on my knees, twisting, running, jumping and so many more all in the span of 10 SECONDS. These jobs are NOT meant to be worked for 8+ hours. Now that I'm better informed I AM going to sit my ass down tomorrow when I need my break, and I'm going to enjoy it. If anything comes from what I said to my PT sup yesterday, I am definitely going to harp on about the fact they were preventing me from taking my break. I'll go all out if they even think about disciplining me for how I talked to my PT sup. I'll even go as far as to tell them that the several seconds they spent talking to me doesn't count as my break. It only counts when I get to recover physically AND emotionally :P next time I hear a new package handler claim they love their job I'm just gonna say "Yeah, wait until peak season..." [/QUOTE]
