The worse the job is, the more my manager clocks my breaks, the more time I spend in the bathroom.

Office job pro tip: Don’t ever let someone see you go into a bathroom. Even if you are only in there for 30 seconds, if someone sees you go in, then spots you again in the hallway half an hour later, they may assume you were in there for half an hour. I had to answer to this stupidity on my performance evals twice.

TL;DR; 4 hours every day for 3 months.

Not the restroom but, a long time ago, a company tried to make me quit and fuck me in the ass in the process because of management issues to say the least. I was essential to the company and I knew it and they knew it, and they could not sue me because the boss was a famous bully in town (he still is).

I once told them I would quit, and during the mandatory "3 months notice" (in France, equivalent to your 2 weeks notice in the USA but legally mandatory), I was watching movies and playing games in my car during lunch from 11 AM to 3 PM. 4 hours of pure fun and entertainment every day, which was half depression, and half watching every TV show out there.

The software dev contract in France is usually "you have no specific hours, you don't clock in/out, you're free to organize your own time, but we don't pay you overtime." My boss told me that I was basically a slave because of that, and refused me some more work from home because he was petty. I took that as a hint that I could work whenever I wanted to. One lawyer friend of mine confirmed that it was legit as long as I quit. I did that as a small message to my bosses and middle managers, aka "fuck you and fuck you forever."

I work in OT for a somewhat big company.

During the high season months, our job is to be "on call" during our shift. It means that during your 8 hours, the maintenance guys of the factory can call you for whatever problem happens (mostly with PLCs but also with industrial computers that have a SCADA system) and my job is to solve the issue, as fast as possible.

This means that some days, I won't even see my office in all the shift because I'm running here and there with my laptop solving issues... But somedays I'll spend the whole 8 hours chilling in my office watching anime, learning some language, or even playing videogames.

My boss knows about this, he even enters the office sometimes and catches us chilling, but his mindset with us is (and this is a quote of him): I hate when I enter your office and see you fucking around, but I actually don't, because, if you're here fucking around, it means you did a good job because the factory is running.

TL;DR: 8 hours, but not in a restroom, in my office.

I used to take naps in the server room.

Not me but:

Brooo omg my older brother SLEPT in the bathroom of a warehouse for TWO HOURS 🤣

Like dude hid in a stall and just... wait how the fuck can you even sleep in the position?

He never got caught lol

My mom was like: "They're gonna catch you slacking and then drag you out jn front of everyone to humiliate you"

Mom told me that back in China, they micromanage every employee and you could never get away with being "afk" for 2 hours lmfao...

But is a big place in that warehouse so its hard to notice someone gone for 2 hours...

Then they started doing bathroom signout sheets... like wtf... are we still in K-12 school??? (it's a unionized place too not sure whats going on now lol)

6 hours, worked at walmart, they brought in new management who was extremely overbearing. They would walk around with stop watches and time how long it took for you to put a box on a shelf. I noticed at some point that they didn't see us as people and couldn't really tell us apart. So whenever another skinny blonde girl was working I would fuck around in the furniture department (as they never stocked that area during overnights). Got away with it until i was fired cause i missed 2 weeks of work from getting the flu + covid right after...

Out of all the things they could've fired me for they chose the only thing that was illegal to fire someone for in this state

20 minutes but im a teacher so its hard to "sneak away" unnoticed.

15 mins is a standard shit break tbh. You want to use the far stalls though as those have phone signal. If you use the ones closer to the door, you only get signal when someone opens the door.

Yes, my job has multiple offices in the area and I know where the secret shitters are in each of them. I've definitely occupied one for 15 minutes before.
