AM I allowed to be on yeshiva world looking through the threads and posting if I am at work in my pharmacy job and I am extrelmely bored bc it is so slow and there are no customers!? or should I just sit and be bored?
Tecnically, you aren’t getting paid to post here, but these days it is hard to find a worker somewhere in a store who is not working while they are checking facebook or email. If your boss will see and get mad, then don’t, if not and you go immidiatly to a customer and py attention to them the same, why not?
First of all, lucky you, you have work!!
Secondly, how should I respond to you if you’re maybe not allowed to read it.
Third, now that you’re already reading, I thank you for your confidence in my rabbanic, halachick proficiency. In the sefer I wrote, (hilchos ??????? ?? ????? ??? ??? ?????) it’s brought down that (whops… I forgot)
Seriously, it’s all up to the “omed daas”, the assumption of the employer’s attitude, stance, feelings. Of course it’s always better to get express permission, to deal direct.
(There is a place of employment I know, where EVERY piece of on-line communication is censored, everything must be strictly business related, the whole day.)
That is my humble opinion.
Is your internet connection provided by your workplace?
I think you should bring seforim with you to work, so you can learn during your bored moments.
I think you should bring poor people to your work so that you can give them money during your bored moments.
I think you should bring a minyan to your work so you can daven with a minyan during your bored moments.
Or a baby. Babies keep you busy.
Or an ant farm. They are fun to watch during bored moments.
If your employer does not have an official, stated policy prohibiting it, and you are literally standing around with nothing to do, go ahead.
When I worked as a cashier at the grocery store, there would be long stretches of time with no customers and we weren’t allowed to eat, drink, use our phones (or even have them in our pockets) or read magazines. I was really going crazy when I worked off-peak shifts.
Perhaps you can ask your boss how else you can help when the regular work is slow. He is paying you; he should benefit,no? Unless he says, relax,enjoy the free time. Just a suggestion. Also,I just saw a video describing a neshama who was “wandering” in heaven because he owed a small amount of money which he never repaid because he passed away suddenly…Personally I’d like to be done with every bit of “tikkun” I need THIS time around, and NOT have to start all over again from scratch because I wasn’t careful with money:)Just thought I’d share that jolly little thought with everyone l’kovod Elul:)
Bump, copy paste OP, change identifying details.
No, you should be learning mussar on how to serve customers better.
there are no customers
You can memorize gemrah or mishnah and review during the dowen time
Being bored is especially hard for some one with adhd there meny books out rhere which deal with how to deal.
