[QUOTE="drazzy93, post: 2514206, member: 64619"] First of all, my FT supervisor is 100% aware of it. He is the one who schedules us. Secondly, "blow my stack over nothing?" Good one. You see, I was fine today, but my legs were simply becoming stiff and sore so I knew I needed to sit down to rub out the stiffness. I sat down for not even 10 SECONDS BEFORE the PT supervisor came running. Thirdly, it was NOT a break. It's like how package handlers tend to sit down on big packages/tires when there is downtime. There was NOTHING to do in my booth, you see, I timed it so meticulously until the point where I had ZERO packages left to do, and I had to wait for more to come in so I just sat down. But somehow that "pisses off my FT supervisor" so I guess I will have to take a more time-consuming 10 minute break in the breakroom 200+ feet away as opposed to just sitting down for 15 seconds until my legs feel better. Again, I had literally not sat there for any more than 10 seconds until the PT sup came up to me. I know a lot of people exaggerate these things, but I am not exaggerating at all. I was shocked that my FT supervisor had focused on these 5 seconds (which he somehow saw even though I had no idea where he was?) and berated me for those 5 seconds. So, yeah, I reiterate, the more time-consuming 10 minute break, having to hold up my supervisors and coworkers so that I can be relieved sounds like a much better idea. If he's going to throw a fit over 10 seconds of sitting he deserves to experience the inconvenience of an employee taking a break in the middle of the shift. [/QUOTE]
