Does taking breaks at work mean you are lazy?

Rebecca

Do you think someone who works 14+ hours a day and doesn’t take a break as someone who is a superhero or someone who is at risk of potentially making a bad decision? I’m really sad for those who don’t get a break at work- as I fully believe taking a break is essential to mental and physical health.

I think that if your job offers you the chance for a break you should be entitled to take it - because surely giving your mind and body a chance to rest is a good thing? The culture of ‘not having enough time’ in my opinion is damaging.

What do you guys think? It scares me how many nurses and health professionals comment on social media that they haven’t taken any sort of break in 16 hours- yet they have to literally keep people alive- I’d hate to be in their shoes! I need a lunch break and I’m just a teacher working 8-7’!!
