My company is renovating the head office, now that covid restrictions are loosening and the contractors can have more people in an area to do the work. So, we have to move offices. Facilities was taking care of moving all the big things for us, but we would need to move the rest of our things (office supplies, monitors, our chair, etc.).
I waited until the the work day started and then went and got a trolly from the mail room because I'm not carrying my box anywhere. I spent an hour and a half moving everything over, when I was done, my other two co-workers were there, so I asked them if they wanted the cart.
One of them responded with; “Yes, thank you, I'll move over on my lunch break. I have to much work to do now.” One of our co-workers is out on short-term medical leave that keeps getting extend (first it was mid-April, then it was the beginning of May and now it's sometime in June), so all of her responsibilities have been split between the remaining four people. I don't mind, I spent days playing the switch and browsing reddit at work because no one had time to train me on anything. When she left, I got a crash course on the how-to's of a lot of things, but not everything
I just shrugged, and then went to my new office space and got set up on company time, then I took my break. I want to thank you guys for letting me know that I don't have to do work related tasks during my lunch break, and that if work gets behind because of a lack of people, that doesn't mean that I need to pick up all the slack. I'm only paid for 7 and a quarter hours a day, and that's all they are getting out of me (there is never approved overtime). I'll work on whatever needs to be done, and if there is more work than time, it'll get done the next business day.
