The great British tea and biscuit break is becoming a thing of the past – with 15 per cent of workers “not allowed” to have one.
A poll of 4,000 adults in employment found seven in ten take under 15 minutes of breaks a day (outside of their lunch break), while 43 per cent take under 10 minutes.
They blame their lack of down time on the size of their workload (47 per cent), too many meetings (25 per cent), and receiving a constant stream of emails (23 per cent).
