I work in a small company, and though it's never really stated, breaks seem "frowned upon". If you are talking about non work-related things, the boss or VP will walk past with a literal frown, but say nothing, and usually people scatter after that.
I think it's damaging to morale and productivity to have this expectation of "no breaks or downtime". Everyone is expected to fill out their time sheets as if they are doing work every minute of the day, as if no one ever takes bathroom or coffee breaks. I overheard a manager saying that "bathroom breaks should be billed to the client."
People still do take breaks anyway. The chatty Cathys make their rounds, and others talk to each other over IM all day. Smokers take smoke breaks and some others go out for coffee breaks.
I'm just wondering if this is normal/standard for office work. Studies support that mental-based work benefits from periods of rest/breaks, and I would like implement it into my schedule - for example, going for a 10-15 minute walk every 2 hours of work, etc.
Is it unrealistic or unfair as a worker to spend 1 hour of the 8 hour work day on breaks?
tldr; Company doesn't say we can't take breaks, but the culture seems to be that they are frowned upon, and we're expected to be working every minute of the day. Is this normal?
