It depends on how bad the conditions are. I have never been a clock watcher, even in my first job at Mcdonalds. I would work through breaks all the time when it got busy, I covered for others, came in early and stayed late. That has always been my approach to my jobs. When I was cleaning the toilets at Mcdonalds I decided I want to learn something new, I had the guys teach me how to run the grill (I stayed late on day), and when they needed a grill person I was ready, I gave the mop/bucket and towels to the guy who didn't know sh*t.

My dad grew up in the rural south. He had low paying jobs and no opportunity - he moved us where there where opportunities. Would you do the same?
