I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I’m honest I’m probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.
I get 20 minutes break per day, but it’s not enough.
I set a timer for everything I do. I drink about 3 instant coffee per day and it’s roughly 3 minutes to make each coffee from leaving my desk, going to kitchen and returning. So that’s 10min already
Toilet time also counts as break time, and I usually need longer than 10min throughout the day.
Chatting to co-workers about personal life also break time and throughout the day with small conversations that’s easily 20min
The boss has never spoken to be about some days I record 1 hour break time… But I used to record toilet time separately and they said that’s too personal for time logging, and I should be recording toilet time as break time.
So they are watching, and I try reduce things that count as break time. Or work an extra 15min if I spent too long in toilet etc
Oh also didn’t mention lunch break because it’s not “on the clock” anyway. So you are physically present at work 8.5 hours but with 30min lunch. I assume that’s standard set up (lunch is unpaid time)
