Not everyone is in a position to drop their current job and go looking for a new one. Employers tend to have a lot of power over their employees, both in terms of real-world impact and in psychological terms.

If you’re an hourly employee and are taking more than your allowed break time, that’s different, of course. But how many hourly employees do tasks that regularly involve running automated processes on a computer that take lengthy periods to complete?
(well, I’ll admit, when I was younger and in an hourly position there was one database report I was responsible for that took over an hour to run, but I doubt that’s common)
