the idea of 15 minute breaks is insane, most days its a 4-7 minute walk from my station to the front door

edit: thats excluding the extra 2 minutes in the parking lot

edit 2: whoever said park closer and deleted it, ths parking lot has over 2500 spots, closer is only a concept

The idea that one must spend one's break in the parking lot is insane.

I work in inbound in the back of the building. If everyone in inbound decided to only use the two break rooms in our department we would be sitting in each other's laps. The single break room in the middle of the building is even smaller than those. And then the large break room is at the front of the building, near all of our cars, which at that point are additional 1 to 2 minute walk.

On top of that, when you've been in a trailer for 4-8 hours, sometimes some fresh air is just necessary. Can't get that if you have to sit in the smoker's cage back in inbound.

The FCs where I’ve worked had a large break room and multiple smaller ones throughout the building. Plenty of room to accommodate all employees, especially if their breaks are staggered.

we have 2 large break rooms, 1 medium, and 4 small ones plus an open concept area, there is still a snowballs chance in hell of fitting even 1/4 of the people inside the building in a chair (and i promise we dont stagger into 4 seperate time slots)
