overheard some days ago

new staff: so boss, where do i go for a cigarette break?

boss: i am aware that you are a smoker new staff but personally, i don't like smokers. staff x smokes, and he goes upstairs. i have told everyone not to loiter there, i don't want more than one person up there... because a 3 minute break can easily turn into a 10 minute break.

new staff: of course.

-next day-

boss: can you move your desk close to my office so i can keep on eye on you?
