'I decided to write him an email and CC his boss': Medical worker stands up for employee break times, commenters urge them to involve HR

Would you ever CC your boss's boss on an email? It's a bold move to make!

This person, u/ShamyJane, was just utterly fed up with their boss's unfair behavior. By the time they wrote him and his boss an email, they must've lost all faith in his abilities to lead. It's a plead from the employee to the boss to please do something to change the working environment! It seems like the original poster only did this out of desperation… and a desire to see him get what he deserved for being so impolite to his workers.

The boss kept insisting that employees needed to work through their breaks, and not leave their posts unless they had a replacement. However, he also scolded employees for eating in public areas instead of in a break room. He sounds incredibly unpleasant --- who cares if the nurse doing healthcare paperwork eats a banana or a salad as they type away at their computer? (The original poster clarified that although they worked in the medical field, they didn't work one-on-one with patients, because medical personnel probably shouldn't eat while examining patients). It seems like their boss is just on a power trip. And commenters had some interesting advice for this person---I hope they took it to heart!

Up next, this landlady kept scheduling last-minute apartment visits, until the tenant made her wait a while using a legal loophole.
