“Refused to take call during unpaid lunch break”

Coworker gave me an attitude after I refused to take a call during my lunch break, then mishandled a prospective customer call.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to handle the situation better without feeling guilty."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't let others dictate your boundaries, especially during breaks."
