20+ times bosses caught their employees breaking the rules: 'Employees honestly think I don't notice when they're ASLEEP!'

No employee can be "on" all the time. Everyone needs a break during the work day to recharge, zone out, and center themselves. Taking breaks is a win-win both for overall productivity and mental health. So when you have an employer who takes issue with how you pace yourself on the job, then it's time to stand up for yourself or go work somewhere else. Of course, if you're dropping the ball in some way or if there's a solution where both parties are able to have their needs met, then a conversation with your boss may actually be productive.

However, if these anecdotes serve as any indication, there are far too many head honchos who overstep. After all, bosses need to pick and choose their battles carefully. If they see that an employee is on social media for a second, maybe that's not as important as an employee who actively never gets any work done. Chances are, in the former scenario, that employee was merely taking a much-needed rest after completing a task.
