  Working through the lunch hour, as someone else said, but I want to add that this is why you leave the freakin building for that hour.

  not OP

  I’ve had numerous jobs that had ‘unwritten rules’, such as being in, dressed, and ready to clock in 15 minutes before the shift starts. Being 1 minute late 3 times in a month was grounds for dismissal. It’s the old way that everything wanted to work.

  If the job market is bad and managers are tyrants, you end up being soft-forced to put in more time.

  If you don’t do it, you prob won’t get fired, but you prob also won’t get raises in hopes for attrition.

  I think they are referring to a lunch break they are forced to work.

  9-5 is 9h, so they probably work the whole time and don’t get OT for the 9th hour.

    9-5 is 8hrs, you might be thinking 8-5 with unpaid lunch

  “Work 1 hour extra or get fired” goes a very very long way to people that work minimum wage and can barely read, let alone fight a court case, my man…
