Around your boss, co-workers, or clients, is this a normal body function or rude? What says the OT?

I would try not to around the boss and clients. Looks like you are bored or not getting enough sleep.

I have a problem with this. If I'm anywhere comfortable for an extended period (like a cold conference room with big comfy chairs), my breathing gets light and I end up needing to yawn. It has nothing to do with my attention or sleep the night before.

It seems like it is becoming a societal norm for people to express that they are bored or dont feel like listening to you, their boss, or the Client. To simply yawn is one thing but I was under the impression that doing so excessively, with an open mouth and making a loud sound effect while in an office full of people was rude but I may have been brought up differently.

Sometimes you can't help it, but to make no effort to cover your mouth/minimize it is rude IMO

It means you just don't care anymore. This person is about to go Office Space on your workplace.

The stigma around yawning is dumb. I’m not going to apologize for something I don’t have control over
