Dear Boss:

[EyeMWing]

I'm working the 11-6 shift today. Which sucks, because legally, I don't get a break of sufficient magnitude to go get some DAMNED LUNCH.

Normally, I'd be here all by myself, but one of the bosses is here doing somethingorother. Which is odd, because this boss doesn't bother showing up on weekdays.

I'm hungry. GTFO.

oh boo hoo, you dont' get lunch...life isn't fair, deal with it.

Or breakfast, because I had a late night last night and didn't get up until immediately before I had to go to work. Or indeed, dinner, because I have a series of meetings to go to.

Furthermore, kiss my ass.

Yes, but they multiplied the prices by a factor of 2.2 last week.

Of course, I believe she is in the process of leaving. Will watch the security monitor to make sure, and then get myself some good ol gas station food.

Aren't you required by law to get a lunch break?

Only for 8 hours or more. Below that, it's like, 15 minutes to go take a leak or something.

You realize, of course, he's there to observe you.

She, and no. She was doing some IT training session for the new hires in other departments.

[dotcom173]

maybe it depends where u work, but i read by law, it is mandatory to take a 30 minute lunch if u work over 6 hours.....ive worked like 7.5 hours, and they said i could take an unpaid 30 minute break....so i said i didnt want one.

Because I want a $3 sandwich.

When I worked at Burger King, they worked me 10 -12 hour days with small breaks to piss and get right back to work. I wasn't allowed to eat food that we were preparing and wasn't allowed to go to the break area and eat food I brought in because I wasn't on break. So I couldn't eat that entire time.

I told a manager one day if he didn't give me a break I was walking out. I didn't have problems getting breaks after that.

You know, a lot of fast food joints don't really care about legal in terms of everything.

 

[Schfifty Five]

btw, why don't you just ask your boss if you can go get something to eat...or are you one of those passive types that like to post threads directed to a specific person who will never read it?

What's so difficult in going to the boss like person and say something to the effect of, "Hey I'm going to go and grab a quick bite for lunch, want anything while I'm out?"

 

[FoBoT]

Since 1516 winds attacked and overseen, now
Crawl amidst the ruins of this
Empty dream
They're borders and boots on top of us, pullin'
Knobs on the floor of their toxic metropolis
So how you gonna get what you need ta get ? tha
Gut eaters, blood drenched get offensive like
Tet
When the fifth sun sets get back reclaim, tha
Spirit of cuahtemoc alive an untamed
Face tha funk now blastin' out ya
Speaker, on the one maya, mexica
That vulture game ta try and steal your name but
Now you found a gun
This is for the people of the sun
It's comin' back around again
This is for tha people of tha sun
Neva forget that tha wip snapped ya back, ya
Spine cracked for tobacco, oh I'm the Marlboro
Man
Our past blastin' on through tha verses
Brigades of taxi cabs rollin' broadway like
Hearses
Troops strippin' zoots, shorts of red mist,
Sailors blood on tha deck
Come sista resist
Tha new era of terror check this photo lens,
Tha city of angels does tha ethnic cleanse
Heads bobbin' to that funk out ya
Speaker, on tha one maya, mexica
That vulture game ta try an steal ya name but now
You found a gun... you're history
This is for the people of the sun
It's coming back around again
This is for tha people of tha sun

We called the Michigan Labor Department and they said as long as you are over 18, a business can work you as long as they want without a break.
