So I just looked at my schedule for next week. No days off. Won't be able to make it to game at all. I'm seriously getting depressed and enraged about this. I really, REALLY, REALLY want to fucking quit but can't come up with a good plan. I can't see any fucking alternative right now. But I need to get out. FUCK. I wish I had the time to

Well, if you go up and directly state you're taking a break, they can't deny you it. Still, the way they see it, if you're not working and on the clock, you're wasting their time. So if you stop to stretch or say a few words to someone and they catch you, they'll bitch at you. They also look at anything like this or break-taking as a reason to deny you hours or raises. I was actually denied an extra 25 cent raise at my last review because my boss at the time claimed he saw me standing around too much when I was in they alley. I have no idea what he's talking about because the only times I'm standing around doing "nothing", is when I'm taking a minute to collect my thoughts on the next task, and even then I'm often wiping down a counter or straightening something while I do so.

There was another incident where my co-worker was training a new person and went to go do some work, leaving the trainee to chat with another coworker for a minute. Then one of the managers went up to her and told her she was being irresponsible by allowing her trainee to "socialize on company time". It's seriously starting to feel like Jr. High again. They're treating us like children. I've been hearing grumblings by people, even people older than me that they feel the managers are treating them like kids. One of the managers actually lists his job on his Myspace page as "babysitter". That's just really insulting. :|
