  5. Sample stimulus At your office, employees are allowed to skip their morning and/or afternoon breaks to take longer lunch breaks. However, the personnel manager says that employees have been taking too much time on their lunch breaks as a result of this policy. She wants to require all employees to take their morning and afternoon breaks and the standard lunch break. Do you agree with this proposal or not? Support your opinion.

  6. Sample response I agree with your thoughts on having all the employees take there morning and afternoon breaks, and having the standard lunch break. If this idea happens. I’d think that there will be more work done and more people at the office to answer phones during the time that would have normally been spent out at a long lunch. Tho I’d understand. If a person need to work through there break, but I’d think that they dont need an extra 15 minuits to lunch. When there isn’t much to do then they can take a break and make up for the one they lost. I’d think the idea of having all employees take there morning and afternoon break would be a good change.
