I assume you go on break when break starts. You go when the work clock says lets say noon. Then you go back when the clock says 12:26. You just cheated yourself out of 4 minutes unless you have to clock out and clock in for break. 30 minutes is 30 minutes and the clock being 4 minutes off does not change how long 30 minutes is. So yeah if you go when the work clock says you should come back when the work clock says. If you go on your own clock then you should come back on your own clock. Going to the work clock and coming back on your own screws you and going on your clock and coming back on the work clock screws your company.

In short you should go when the work clock says and come back when the work clock says. That way you get your full break and you are doing what you are supposed to do per your company. Everyone wins.

Exactly. Why can't my coworkers follow the rules?

My phone is set after the work clock but everybody else's phones are after the Internet time(as well as the clock in the break room).

So every break goes down like this(I take the 8am break as an example):

When my clock(and the clock everyone goes after in the workshop) is around 7.55, everyone goes for a break(its a large building it takes a couple of minutes to get to the break room).

The break is 15 minutes long and I head out when my phone is 8.15 and the rest waits until the break room clock(and their phones) is 8.15 which is an additional 4 minutes of break time.

I think it's kinda wrong to follow two different clocks that are set on two different times(we only clock out during the lunch break which is 30 minutes long).

For some reason it has gotten kinda awkward to always head out before everybody else.

So I'll guess I'll also start having longer breaks until the boss finally fixes the darn clock.
