Whats the point of going into work for 9.30 to have breakfast at 10

veryangryman

I mean seriously - you are taking the p1ss. You all know who you are.

If you cant muster up the energy to get your lazy asses out of the bed earlier to have something at home or on the way in, then you didnt earn your breakfast.

Normally id blame the public service but sadly, this happens in the private too. This flexitime muck is wrecking the country.

Rant over. Time for coffee...

Mmmffph, definitly...*scoff*

It really gets my goat too *munch. I mean people come into work at 9, and by 10 past *scchluurrrrp, they're.. hang on sorry, dropped my butter knife... yeah.. they have the cheek to waste away a few minutes *Ohhm nohm nohm of their employer's time.

Almost as bad as coming in and going on boards first thing.

I wouldn't stand for it myself

*buurrrrrrrrrrrp

Yawns

Someone didn't have brekkie this morning, left his wallet at home and is now angry at all those who thought ahead to bring their brekkie & lunch monies

It's ok OP, I feel for you.




















n0m n0m this brekkie tastes so damn nice right now tho!

kfallon

And twas far from lattes and bagles they were reared too OP!

mrsdewinter

Grr. This is a bug bear of mine too. There's a case to be made if you're commuting long distances but if you live within walking distance of the office, and simply switch on your PC each day before strolling off to the kitchen to toast a bagel...? Give me strength.

Brekky on the company dime is one of life’s little victories. OP needs to go out and get a jambon. Hmmmmmm, speaking of which *slips out side door*

Eating at your desk is like stealing from the company.

Hope you're having that coffee before work and not during...

An ex-boss of mine used to wait for me to go to the petrol station next door for a scone and tea, he would shout down from his office "if your getting something, bring me back the same". Cheeky cnut never paid for it either !! I got my vengeance though, i robbed all his office stationary before leaving

It doesn't happen in my private sector job I can assure you, if you miss breakfast it's a case of tough luck.

Hope you left him with notepads and post-its. It'd be more annoying, having something to write on, but nothing to write with ;P

It does. I have first hand experience. Doesnt happen alot in the industry, but there are a significant minority

Burning issue on which I have often pondered.

Bit like the smokers heading out every half an hour for 10 minutes! :eek:

monkeypants

It's the company's fault. If they didn't want people eating breakfast in their canteen, they could stop contracting a catering company to provide breakfast in their canteen.

So enjoy your breakfast.

You do know that flexitime just means that the hours you come in and go are flexible, you still have to work up your 39 hours in the week.

Why wouldn't you be entitled to your breakfast, even if it is at the start of your day?

*poster may or may not be on flexitime

My boss makes us breakfast! :P

Just had a lovely sausage sandwich. Yum Yum.

My boss is Awesome!

Absurdum

I have breakfast at 7 at home before I leave, then another at 10 in work. Nothing better than getting paid to eat. Except for sleeping. And ****. Oh yeah.

You certainly showed him by taking a few A4 pads and some biros after brining him tea and a scone every day for years.

Coming in at 9.30, then break at 10.....makes sense really. You need to ease yourself into work, or you could pull a muscle!
It's like stretching before going for a run.

Ray Palmer

In fairness it is very easy to catch up on the day as you are munching a bowl of cereal. I tend to read my e-mails not a bother to anybody and most people do the same in work here.

Flexi-time is not messing anything up bad management of people is the biggest problem. If a manager can't manage the staff in the core times they are not a very good manager.

I remember that day well, going into the back field and the potato crop failed.

JoePie

About to head up to the client's canteen now for a scone and coffee. Think I'll go for a smoke afterwards. Good times all round.

if you don't get to have breakfast at home, tough ****.
best way to combat this is to have a permanent stash of cereal bars or similar in the car

I've worked for 5 companies in the Private Sector. Only one of them didn't have a tea break. They had a tea lady. Dam she was hot and she'd really nice choccy biscuits.

Maybe it's only the companies you work for in Begrudsville that don't do it.

GerM

If someone has breakfast but manages to get all their work completed and to a sufficiently high standard then who cares if they have breakfast, lunch and dinner whilst in work?

I'd be more concerned about those who spend their work days posting on internet forums when at their desks rather than actually working...

Uh-oh.

You do realise that you are on the internet instead of working yeah?
It's not like you're slaving away while they all do nothing.

??? As long as you work the hours you are required to, does it really matter how many breaks you take and when you have your brekkie? Don't see the problem.

That said though, we have one colleague who comes in barely on time, and then buggers off for a shave. Every morning. Now THAT's taking the mickey! (because he does not stay those 10 minutes longer in the evening.). He seems to think that he's 'sticking it to the man' and 'fighting the establishment'.

No clearly the best way to combat not having breakfast at home is to have it in work shortly after you arrive

You're doing it all wrong!
