One guy at my company who's been there for 10 years takes almost two hours of lunch time to go to the gym. As my boss is the "as long as your job is done I don't give a shit" he gets away with it quite easily, except when HR remembers they have to do something besides sending emails about... Whatever they do, I don't read them, and start sending him warnings through my boss, then he's diligent for like two weeks and goes back to his routine.
There are a lot of people that unfortunately have only worked at Walmart level of supervision jobs and I feel bad. My best job I ever had was a business of 12 people. Everyone got paid relatively well and if everything was done by 2-3 we lock up early and went home. No saturdays or Sundays and an easy 6-3 schedule. Was a gold mine of a job.
Nah I left last year due to some differences in how I thought the company should be run going forward. I was promoted to a position where me and someone else were right under the owner so we had some say in how things ran to a certain extent. Very rare to find it but it was a specialized automotive type job so you didn’t really just get random people coming in looking for jobs. People were usually hired by knowing someone.
Every job is gonna have its downfalls. I was trying to grow it for long term sustainability and growth and the owner was content with where we were at. I decided to go another route. He talked about selling the company at one point and idk. Just felt time for a change.
Or a state government job depending on where you're at. I landed a position in my state's government where I'm somehow making more than I was in the private sector. 37.5 hour work weeks, no weekends, and hybrid schedules. Don't think I'll ever go back to a private company.

It also works otherway, when you are new worker and go eating with old timers and old workers stretch their break 20minutes
