Sorry if I don’t word things right, this is one of my first stories on Reddit! My boss will just be Bee any coworker will be CO.
Please let me know if I’m overreacting here.
For background I work landscaping, we were working on a site which had an outhouse about 2 minutes away if you drove one of the vehicles provided.
Just finished lunch and about 1 hour I decided I needed to use the bathroom, drove to the bathroom, used it, got back in less than around 7 minutes. Went back to working. Around a little bit later CO asks if we will take a 15 minute break (we get two per day and used only one). Bee agrees and says it’s time for a break. All other workers including I go up to leave to the break room. Suddenly, bee stops me:
Bee: “You can’t go you went to the bathroom just a little bit ago”
Me: “Haha are you sure?”
(In front of everyone)
Bee: “Yes OP, you took a bathroom break so it’s not fair to take two breaks so they get a break and you need to stay here and work”
CO whispers to me: “You good man? I think you can just go up”
Me: “Nah, I’ll just stay because I don’t understand”
TL:DR boss denied me a 15 minute due to a bathroom break I took am I overreacting?
