"Ms Bright, explain to me please, whether it is forbidden for all the staff to meet or communicate with their acquaintances during their personal break. Or do you personally forbid to me only?"
"Ms Merry, let's not act like children. You perfectly aware of my meaning." - Head chief tried to reason with her.
"No, I don't get it. I believe that with whom I meet, is my personal business. And I'm not looking for approval here from anyone. I came here to work. My break for five minutes was laid down in the labour code.
And it didn't hinder me from completing my duties. If you can't keep your staff under control to the extent that any gossip affects the workflow. Then it's not my fault.
I'm not going to protect workers from such stress, like small children. This is a question of professionalism and not mine I should add."
