@GJOFJ3 You've missed the point. It's not about cost. How would you feel if your coworker got extra breaks while you were busting your ass?

@AcidBurn they do, and it doesn't bother me in the least.

@GJOFJ3 So when they are praying others have to do their work? Doesn't sound fair to me.

@GunSmoke9 well then you shouldn't work at a place where diversity is tolerated.

@GJOFJ3 This has nothing to do with diversity, but about fairness.
