One is building up the reputation of being a hardworking person (something very important at the beginning of your career). I'm sure there are many other incentives I am missing too.bcjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004625647062873088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14906887.post-1151359010557461972006-06-26T17:56:00.000-04:002006-06-26T17:56:00.000-04:00I count on you to pick up all the incentives I mis...I count on you to pick up all the incentives I miss, juan carlos.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078668225749387024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14906887.post-1151333578158254962006-06-26T10:52:00.000-04:002006-06-26T10:52:00.000-04:00I would think that vending-machine breaks are also...I would think that vending-machine breaks are also acceptable even if they are not part of a trip to the bathroom, and also even if your PC was not rebooting (as long as you don't abuse).<BR/><BR/>Any employer knows that employees will spend some unproductive time in buying candy, and therefore the salary that you are paid probably already accounts for this (i.e., it is lower than it would be if you could commit to full-time concentration). Because of this, you'd better take advantage of such breaks at any time, not just when you cannot work. In addition, the company is probably charging a rent to the owner of the vending machine and making a profit from your trips to it.bcjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004625647062873088noreply@blogger.com
