I've worked with his kind before, "toilet break" usually means they've gone for a smoke, expect everyone else to carry them, usually cry or tell some made up sob story if they are pulled up on it, end up he'll probably feign an injury and go off on the sick indefinitely

Anyone who's ever worked retails has experienced some toss pot like you describe - another reason why everyone should experience retail work at least once in their lives.

You have got to be careful about playing that “our taxes” card, particularly when your third level tuition fees are publicly funded.

You wouldn't believe how lazy some people are in here.

You are partially right.

CCTV can and is often used for health and safety reasons when an employee goes missing.

You want to know where they are in case there is medical emergency or accident etc.

I may be mistaken, but it can also be used to monitor productivity, but this must be outlined to employees.

Already eating about 30g a day which is plenty.

I did not say that. Someone said that they could send me to a doctor and I'd have to go. I said I'd have no problem going to a doctor if they were going to compensate me for my time. Frankly it would be a waste of time because I'm as fit and healthy as a butchers dog.

So why are you spending 12.5% of your shift on the jacks?

5900 posts over 5 years and 2 months, roughly translates to 3 posts per day. You joined today and already have 40 posts nearly. So you're well on your way!

I'm pretty sure you're mistaken, this isn't North Korea.

Yip, can be used to monitor behaviour and performance, but must be outlined to employees.

I think you need to look up the definition of paid employment,

This thread is just about what you can do and your rights to do what you want to do. We have all met and worked with these types. Its rarely a pleasurable experience.

Just because others are slacking does not mean you should do it too.

Step up!

In bolloxology? Ah sure you've a PhD in that already no?

The CCTV is a moot point and a diversionary tactic being used by the OP. In a busy job like a warehouse packer multiple prolonged "toilet" breaks like would be glaringly obvious to all and wouldn't need to be spotted on CCTV.

First time, full time undergraduate courses, second time round you pay yourself. Doesn’t change the fact that you benefitted first time around.

In not slacking. I do my work and most importantly don't leave work for others.

You've admitted to all that you are slacking to the tune of an hour a day.

Well isn't it better that the tax money went toward finding a degree as opposed to me sitting on the dole and having a rake of children who will all need to be provided for by the state. I also worked throughout the first degree and didn't receive any Susi grants. I certainly know which I'd rather my taxes be spent on.

Well when it comes to your activities at work it is North Korea

Now the employer doesn't have to use his powers against you, but when the time comes they can.

All your work emails etc can be monitored, not to mention Internet browsing history etc.

You have to read your contract and employee handbooks and all other literature to see the extent of possibilities.

Most are not used on day to day basis at all, but when employee starts taking a piss they can use their powers

OP seems to be oblivious to the possibility of his slacking escalating to violence, suppose it would literally be getting the sh1t kicked out of him

Well what do you suggest I do instead? Hold it in? Reduce my fibre intake ?

On the second point yes that would be great wouldn't it increase my likelihood of GI cancers, high cholesterol etc in the future by not rating enough fibre to simply squeeze out a tiny bit more productivity from me in my supermarket job.

Looks like your 60min lunch break is over. Best get back to supporting your teamates.

See you in about 20mins or so?

If your problem is serious, social media is not the fix.
Go to Doctor on your time to explain your frequency
Share details with employer

Oh, and you may want to tell the GP you had Covid last week too, worked through it and everything is cool. After all, you are as healthy as a butchers dog.
