Comment on Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks?

I’m in the US.

I’ve never had a job tell us we can’t take our 15s. But most places keep staffing tight enough, and busy enough, that people feel guilty taking a 15 unless they have a real reason to.

Personally, I find them kind of frustrating. By the time I begin to calm down, it’s time to head back. It’s not even like a real break. Where I am now, 30min is auto deduced for lunch, so we take 45min lunches most of the time.

That’s be super illegal, yeah

I’ve worked one place that enforced they be 10 minutes, though, which is the requirement in California, shockingly

The worst is when they’re like that about lunch breaks, but when it comes to smoking, all bets are off. If you don’t smoke, then you can just go fuck yourself I guess…

Much less common than it used to be, but still a thing some places.
