Greetings.
This is my first time posting here but I have visited this fine group
regularly for sometime. I hope this is not to much of a sensitive topic but
I am having great difficulties in just how to address this issue. I just
about have a war on my hands and may lose some employees over this and need
some experienced help. An employee that has long been gone forced the issue
and measures had to be taken. There was a smoking area provided where people
can go but the non-smokers want to be able to take 5-10 minutes per hour
break also. The smokers gather to takes their breaks whenever they want and
the non-smokers actually are harder workers. From the beginning one senior
man has always said he will quit if the shop ever became a non smoking shop.
If he leaves this will cause dire consequences.Others may leave if is were
to be the other way around. This has always been an easy going place to
work until now. Without going into any more details about the major problems
that have arisen can anyone please tell what to do?
