Where do you live, where taking breakes is frowned upon? That's crazy.
Here in Denmark, I'm being reminded to take breakes and go home. I have been asked if I'm sure it's not hurting my work/life balance, before getting overtime approved.
It's also common to stay at work after hours to hang out, if there's a nice place to do that.
I know that the American capitalism thing is a meme at this point, but working in software, every company I've worked for isn't against you taking breaks or doing whatever as long as things get done. I've played foosball with my VP during normal hours before, and it was slightly awkward but good fun.
The usual issue I see in my industry is that you constantly accumulate more responsibilities without any corresponding increase in pay. It's especially bad for morale when you see someone leave, and their responsibilities get distributed to the team, but no one gets any part of the old person's salary as a raise to make up for the added responsibilities even when the higher ups refuse to hire a replacement since you're all clearly handling it fine.
this sounds like a sci-fi novel
Same in my office in the UK, I got asked if I was not taking enough breaks or doing work outside of work hours as I was doing more than they expected as my manager was worried about me burning out, but having a chill atmosphere and a nice place to hang out and chill in the office just means that I can be more productive and happier at work so it's a win-win... A lot of HR types don't realise that it takes both a nice office in both material and culture to make people productive and just go for the former which has the lower effect of the two when used alone.
Ok, calm down there, commie. Maybe you'd better go check in with your "family" and your "adequate housing". The rest of us are here to make money.... For other people.
My guess is USA or UK
Source: live in USA. Taking breaks is seen as being lazy. As is taking days off when your sick.
I've been told multiple times to take more sick leave.
Usually when I come back from sick leave, I've been told I should have taken a day more to recover fully. But after days in bed, I just really want to start doing something, even if I'm tired.
That's nice and all, but staying after hours to hang out sounds awful. I don't want to befriend those losers, I want to get on with my life. They can all rot in hell for all I care, I'd sell them out in a heartbeat.
