lol true...what sucks is that the non-smokers are usually not welcome in that circle...

We're not allowed to take smoke breaks at my work. I don't smoke so I don't really care but all of the smokers go nuts.

Time for a smoke break! That biscotti break sounds mighty tempting though

At a previous job (call center) everyone on the floor got the same amount of breaks smokers and non smokers. However, both of the directors were smokers and they went out every 30 mins for a smoke..and not for a little drag..for 15 mins at a time.It was unreal! Then they would bitch at us if WE were 2 or 3 mins late for our breaks or lunch.

At my place of work, everyone gets 30 minutes total break time. You are not supposed to exceed that 30 minutes, however I have noticed that on occasion both smokers and nonsmokers exceed that time limit. I think it has to do more with an individual's sense of responsibility, rather than if he/she is a smoker.

hehe...you will do the same when you reach that level...the bigger you get, the more unfair you become...

circle of life...

the people that kill me are the ones that are like.."well instead of 2 15 min breaks i take 6 five minute ones....so really, I'm not taking any more time than you"

ooo
not going to congratulate you just yet

I was managing a department one time, and some of the staff asked me for a smoke break. I said no, because they already had their regular break.

They actually tried to argue that they were entitled to more breaks because they were smokers. I laughed in their face.
