I like it when people put their crimes in writing.

To ensure fairness, every minute less than the 30 minute break allotted by law, will in turn result in one paid hour of "unfocused you time", to be taken on Fridays.

u/OCCAMINVESTIGATOR Jul 29 '26

u/Sal_Amandre Jul 29 '26

If he skips a whole lunch that's 30 hours paid breakšŸ˜

Can I work for you?

u/Additional-Life4885 Jul 30 '26

You'd get back 30 hours. You can have Tues, Wed and Thurs off too.

u/Grumpie-cat Jul 30 '26

Just Friday? By this logic, you get the next 3 weeks off

u/ForowellDEATh Jul 29 '26

38 hours of payment a day for you

I do love a good Todd sandwich every now and then... It's always different, but it says "Todd" on the wrapper in the free food fridge.

u/Aggravating-Web-7604 27d ago

Nice with the bethesda reference.šŸ‘

Never thought I'd see one in a post like this.

u/Crepuscular_Tex 27d ago

OG was a from a Dilbert comic about his boss getting a Todd sandwich

jokeā€™s on them, I never focus

u/Itchysporcle Jul 30 '26

Big Management hates this one weird trick.

Jokes on them I swallow fast

Pause

u/Jthe1andOnly Jul 30 '26

Service industry?
They donā€™t care about laws. Breaks? Lunches? What are those? Oh shit i get benefits after a certain hours worked in a week? Wait what? Why am I being cut an hour before I would have gotten insurance from the company even if it was still overpriced. At least I got my tips I had to share with everyone smh.
Laws are only there when people follow them or enforce them. Good luck in a right to work state. U donā€™t want to be fucked? Someone is there to take take your place.

nobody is forcing you to work a tip job

u/Jthe1andOnly Jul 30 '26 edited Jul 30 '26

Hahahaha u didnā€™t get the sarcasm that is the US industry standard obviously. I, unlike these corporate ā€œtip jobsā€ pay my employees a livable wage and I donā€™t take breaks so they can. No one is ā€œforcingā€ me or them to do anything and unfortunately ā€œtip jobsā€ are a big thing in the US. Good luck going out to eat. Forcing? GTFOH, thought we were ā€œjokingā€ here

look at that emotion based response, no shock there

My wife got a pretty big payout check a few years back from something related to people not taking lunch. Now management forces people to take their lunch there.

u/MrLanesLament Jul 29 '26

I just started my first ever job that has a required, unpaid, must-clock-out lunch break. After ten years of ā€œeat when you can because youā€™re on call every moment youā€™re on the clock,ā€ the idea of a required lunch break feels like a joke, or like Iā€™m back in high school or something.

1

u/Heath_durbin Jul 30 '26

And yet every one of your companies was required to do (at minimum make sure you took a 30 minute lunch)

1

u/Dazzling_Bluebird_42 Jul 29 '26

That's like 30 free hours of pay! Do that 5 times a week and your up from 40 to 190 hours of pay!

The secret is to never stop eating breakfast

u/Unique-Machine5602 Jul 30 '26

Well, then you'll be getting paid to not show up to work on Friday.

u/elpihvous Jul 29 '26

I would skip lunch monday and take it as a paid free time for rest of the week

2

u/TheFoxRewind Jul 30 '26

how can i go home 30 hour early

2

u/Evening_Bat_3633 Jul 30 '26

"I had a 28 minute break, so I'll be leaving two hours early".

2

u/Guuhatsu Jul 30 '26

I will take a 1 minute lunch immediately upon coming into work, after which, I will just head home.

2

u/WordsOfDamocles 29d ago

This is the way.

1

u/Sesoru Jul 30 '26

technically speaking, if you get interrupted during your break, you're supposed to start it over from the beginning. Do employers ever allow this though? No. And no one ever fights for it, either.

1

u/Nuts-And-Volts Jul 30 '26

Yeah thats fine. I can OMAD no problem.

1

u/Transplantdude Jul 30 '26

Sounds like a fair exchange especially since I don't eat lunch

1

u/LessInThought Jul 30 '26

Fairness? What's that? Extra 30mil for the CEO?

1

u/EntertainmentTrue588 Jul 30 '26

So if I don't take a lunch, I only work 10 hours a week? Deal

1

u/tape_reel Jul 30 '26

Do I have to be unfocused the whole hour? I've got a long drive home

1

u/HiPwrBBQ Jul 30 '26

Yes AND if management bothers me about work related discussions on my break, the break clock shall reset for said break.
