Modern lunch break (sh.itjust.works)

Are we all doing this now, because I’m exhausted by noon everyday. (TikTok screencap)

In my opinion, this is mostly great only for salary folks. As an hourly worker, an hour lunch break means I'm away from home for an extra hour. Also, as someone who travels to many locations, I'd much rather eat on the road than sit down and wait until lunch is over, especially if it's mandatory...

???

Every job I've ever had - had the lunch unpaid. Hourly or Salary you're ass is there a minimum of 8 hours and 30 minutes.

Only difference is if you're there 10 hours. The Hourly guy gets paid extra. The salary man gets told to go fuck himself. "Salary Exempt"

Generally I agree, but I do carve out a narrow exemption for that particular hourly job, it was in a warehouse so pretty physical, I was on my feet all day, carrying around heavy boxes and such, and with the specific job I had I was often the first one there in the morning and basically always the last to leave, so I really wanted that nap in the middle of the day

Same here from when I was working in the field. If I'm driving, I can count it as working so I go home after 8 hours instead of 9 or 8.5 or whatever.
