Many years ago I had an older Scottish boss. Unstereotypically
for a Scot with an accent so thick you could make peaks in it with a spatula, he had no
problem with his staff reading a book, chatting, or idling away our shifts —
but only under one condition: all the work in the shop must be finished and out
the door first. If our salespeople failed to keep us busy, that was their
problem. If we failed to deliver their work on time, it was ours.
So play by all means,
but play after you work.
