In your job do you have the freedom to sleep, or sit down, when you are tired and eat when you are hungry?
That was my major complaint when I was 18 working around minimum wage. What is a job were you have that freedom? Would you like to have that perk?

No. In all my 45 years, I have never had a job that allowed me to do what I want while being paid to work.
It is a desk job, so I am always sitting.
Not allowed to sleep while at the office, but I can eat and drink whenever I want.
I can come and leave whenever I want, too, as long as the work gets done.
Not sleep, but I can sit, well all I do is sit, and eat whenever I want to. I work as a legal assistant and I can pretty much work at my own pace as long as all deadlines are adhered to.
I have never had a job that gave those benefits. All of my jobs have involved mostly being on my feet and doing physical things. I’m actually glad of that, because I am in much better shape than most females my age.
Yup, and encouraged to sleep if needed, I can grab a bite any time I want it,but that means just reaching into my lunch kit.
Since I am a driver I am always sitting down.
I’m 95% percent of the time standing or moving, but when I feel tired I will sit down and drink some water and relax for 5 to 10 minutes.
If I don’t I will be less productive the remainder of my time there, so I feel it’s advantageous for all.
Yes, because I’m self-employed. I get along very well with my boss (that would be me), and all my co-workers are lovely and delightful (ditto).
No, but latterly when I worked from home I could eat when I wanted and stand up or move around at will but sleeping was not acceptable
Not sleep, no. But resting when I have a spare minute, yes, and eating, pretty much yes. But I only ate at designated lunch times. I didn’t snack in between. Why would I need to?
Every job I’ve had as an adult was a desk job, but I had the option of getting up and walking around if I needed to.
^^^ But, now, you’re a schoolteacher, right?
Yes but I have the same freedoms as I had at a desk job, although I am on my feet more. And on the floor. And climbing the walls. ~ But I can sit when I need to. The kids are now allowed to eat in class, so if I wanted to snack I could. But I don’t. I DO have a Diet Coke or water with me, though.
I’m one of those lucky bastards who are self employed & so can do whatever I want, whenever I want…actually, it’s not luck, it’s a hard earned reward.
I’ve been self employed. Too many people have the crazy idea that if you’re self employed you secretly have a boat load of money.
No secrets here, i’m fuckin loaded :D
