Taking your last break at the end of your shift was standard procedure for our backroom. As long as the work got done and there was someone in the back to do location checks no one cared, and the team members liked to go on break and then go home. Our first STL gave us a lot of leeway and that enabled us to keep our metrics green. (Our first STL was a great guy, our ETL-HR was awesome, too, as was our backroom ETL. Those were the days...) 😁
Back in the day, we needed our entire team pulling cafs at times and taking breaks after the cafs were completed or at the end of shifts allowed us to have our entire team working when we needed them. The team was happy with the system which worked well for everyone. I don’t know if this was allowed for the front end, but it was ok for the sales floor team. New managers came in and tried to stop it, but were not entirely successful.
