Exactly how many times can you use that excuse before you get written up or fired?how many professions can you flick hot lead down the back of supervisors collar and say it was an accident ?
Was thinking the very same thing, only from his boss' perspective! A biblical verse from Christ's Sermon on the Mount comes to mind:
And why do you watch the splinter, the [one] in the eye of your brother, but do not notice the plank in your eye?
I'm salaried so official breaks do not exist.Why would my boss be mad about anything?
Do you guys not get breaks at your work? LOL. Break time is MY time, not the company's. Technically no, if you're still on company property and the fact that your behavior is subject to scrutiny while on company property. You can be called back to service anytime even if it's a union workforce.
And my boss is as likely to be resting his eyelids as anyone. But he's the boss and you're not! Then again a good boss leads by setting good examples.

Since the thread got sidetracked into discussing napping at work, a philosophical question...
Why would it bother you for someone to take a nap while on a break at work, vs. read a newspaper, use the restroom, eat a snack, take a walk or jog, or make a phone call?
What is "wrong" with napping? Why is it any more wrong than any of these other personal, healthful, or beneficial activities afore mentioned?
And why would it be something a company would scrutinize any more than the rest?
It has actually been documented that workers on average are MORE productive after a nap.
IMHO this is an example of an old fashioned value that got brainwashed into us that has little merit. otoh, I do agree that sleeping and all of those other activities (except for bathroom breaks) should not be done while on the clock.
That may be so but there are always specifics that can preclude some laws such as being "on call" of which occurs in my situation. My former boss was very cool about taking comp time as long as business was addressed properly. My new boss is strictly a "company policy to the letter" type of person. He's stuffy and about as charasmatic as a doorknob.Federal law would state differently. Even salaried people have the same break schedule as hourly. It's the companies themselves that try to tell you differently.
