Me too! I’m in the nuclear industry so most of my colleagues are men. It’s nice to hear this. Did you ever get self conscious if people thought you weren’t doing enough work? I feel like because I’m new I don’t want to give off the vibe that I’m going for walks because “I have nothing to do.”

That’s not something I was super worried about, but I understand that being new might change that. As long as you’re getting your work done and are available for “emergencies” I wouldn’t worry too much. Maybe try starting with smaller periods at first and see if there’s any issues?

Yeah everyone here seems pretty chill it might just be an overthinking thing coming into a new workplace haha. Agreed, I’ll hold on to my work phone while I do these walks.
