I saw a meme that talked about how a Japanese company gave its non-smoking staff extra vacation days since they saved time by not taking smoke breaks, and there were many successes that resulted from this action. Indeed, it is true, and I feel it could work great for Washington businesses. The answer, at least according to the Japanese company called Piala Inc., is yes. The company was located on the 29th floor, which took quite a bit of time for a successful smoke break, and staff started to complain about the unfairness. The staff isn’t taking as many smoke breaks; 15 minutes here and there adds up fast, especially throughout the year.
