I recently started a job at a summer daycare program. The work days are 7am-6pm. Half days are 5.5 hours each. Many of us, however work double shifts. We are not given any breaks and aren't even allowed to check our phones for the time or we are at risk of being terminated. I usually work doubles, but our boss ensures we don't work over 40 hours a week, so some days are half days or I'm off. Regardless, it's incredibly draining. During lunch we have to eat with the kids. I don't even get to sit down the whole lunch since so many kids need help opening packages or need behavioral correction. I can't keep my eyes on all the kids if I'm sitting in one place the whole time. I usually sit down and scarf down a sandwich and then walk around with bagged food while helping the kids. Even if I leave early I am working at least 9 hours without any break. It's exhausting and I'm already burnt out and ready to quit. I just reached out to my boss about giving those working a double a 30 minute break but idk how that will work since we're already struggling with staff numbers.
