I've been traveling for over a month now... make it stop

Where the hell do you guys work that you actually have 8 hour days and not 9? (7-3. 8-4, etc). Man that'd be awesome; I don't need an entire hour for my freakin lunch.

My company allows us to work through lunch. It's a common exception if your job is able to be performed while eating.

most well ran companies don't make people stay for time they aren't working. if they do, it's just a sign of a poorly ran company.

My company doesn't allow it, and I could easily eat at my desk. Feels like a 9 hour day, not 8, because I don't have the option of working 8 straight if I wanted to.

i love my lunch break, it's the only time in the day I don't deal with BS.

Are you sure? You're in this thread, aren't you? 😉

Semi-cushy government job. Come in around 8:30am, leave around 5pm. Practically no overtime unless I choose to or just need some after hours maintenance (rare I can't just stop 'x' service for an hour or 2 here or there though). Course overtime isn't paid but it's comptime, so take it out of some other day.

every non-hourly position I've had, it's pretty much at the manager's discretion (and people are only asked to start taking unpaid lunch breaks if they're seen habitually abusing it)

def manager's discretion at my company, BUT you have to take a legally required clock-out 30 minute lunch.

You guys are missing the point of this thread, it's now Wednesday, just saying. Quit arguing about your works and get back to the nonsense.

I just realized it's pay day this week.

 

[DrunkenSano]

Yep, two paychecks every month. Can't wait! Last one was awesome for me since the bonus paycheck came as well. $$$

This thread was a huge disappointment.

Just like the OP.

Related: You have 3 business days to verify identity OR present receipts showing you requested the documents. Wonder if the OP took care of that?

 

[waffleironhead]

After an extensive search for original documents fails, TT finds out he is an illegal immigrant. Is then deported to noeyebrowistan.

 

[brianmanahan]

Just like the OP.

He's too busy to report back to us guys...

Accurate.

Work starts here around 9:00AM-10:00PM and people leave between 5:00PM-6:00PM. Basically, you choose the 8 hours you want to be in between those times.

Btw, using a mac is very difficult for me right now. I'm used to shift+delete, pg down/up, and end/home keys. Gotta rearrange myself to this crazy shit. Also, I'm going to see if I can get a display or two. I'm really not a fan of coding and designing pages on a laptop.

This. Stop bullshitting us.

 

[postmortemIA]

8 exact hours at work, sorry but that does not sound too right. No lunch break? It surely is not included in your work hours unless you are hourly non-exempt employee.

There is a little coffee shop in Greenville, SC that I work at occasionally when visiting my parents. A regular actually has a iMac like that setup in his usual booth. He sits there all day, chats people up, and day trades. Made me laugh when I saw this pic.
