<title>Can You Get Fired for Napping on the Job? Answer May Surprise You&#8230;</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-13577" title="office nap" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/mediajobsdaily/files/2013/01/office-nap.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="159" />If you&#8217;ve ever snoozed it up at work, this piece in <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/jobs/go_to_greg_GH1FPRjmHFBKJNDElVNATK" target="_blank">The New York Post</a> may catch your eye. An employee got caught taking a nap and the boss said if he&#8217;s ever caught again, he&#8217;ll get fired.</p>
<p>Although the employee may try to claim power naps boost productivity and energy, au contraire, as per &#8220;at will&#8221; employers.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Gregory-Giangrande-profile.html">Gregory Giangrande</a></strong>, chief HR officer at Time, Inc., indicates if the employer is &#8220;at will,&#8221; this means &#8220;your boss can fire you for any reason &#8212; or no reason at all, provided it isn’t for a legally protected reason like race, religion, age, etc.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, if you insist on taking a power nap during company time make sure it&#8217;s actually on your time instead such as your lunch break.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t be overt about it &#8212; catch a quick snooze in your car or something and set the alarm on your mobile phone so it&#8217;s within the specified time frame.</p>

<p>Well, the new ostrich pillow can take office naps to a whole new level!</p>
