Work in hospital housekeeping. Hate it. Anyways I take my breaks on the floor which I clean for many reasons. 1. They're more hygienic than the housekeepers breakroom, which is almost always a filthy mess thanks to night shift. 2. Where I clean is very far from the housekeeping department/breakroom so im not walking all the way over there just to relax for 15min and then walk all the way back. 3. It's quiet and I prefer that way.
Recently my boss said that the breakrooms on my floor are for the nursing staff and them only. He thinks the nurses are “looking down on me” while I sit in their breakrooms. I find this to be incredibly stupid. The nurses/techs seem to like me and have never said anything about me sitting around for awhile. Some of them even like to chit chat.
Anyways, is taking breaks in the “wrong” break room a valid reason for termination. I honestly don't care if I do get fired because this place sucks ass. I'd make a whole rant post about it but that'd take half my shift to type lol
