“Intermittent fasting”

I stopped bringing a lunch to work. I haven’t gotten a single lunch break at work in probably 3 weeks. Officially I’m supposed to get a break of course, they just find a way to rob me of it every single day, in addition to the all the time I keep working after the time of day when they stop paying me. Call it a diet I guess.

working a double with no break?

Hi all! I got scheduled for a double in a couple weeks. I work 8am-1pm and then 1-6:30pm with no break in between. I’ve never had a double where I didn’t have at least 30 mins in between shifts so I’m not sure how to go about this. Am I supposed to be given a lunch break? I wasn’t sure about the legal side of meal periods since it’s technically two separate shifts and not a continuous 8+ hour shift, but I won’t be leaving at all. I’m in Virginia. If I am supposed to have one and my boss says no, what should I do? Any help is appreciated! I’m just not sure how to go about it. Thank you!

If someone told you they had the answer to solving late-stage capitalism…

if they told you they had the answer to: Fair wages for all Less working hours A home in a good area with good community would you work hard to make it a reality? Or do you think society is too far gone? I think all of us can diagnose the issues wrong with society – subreddits like this bind together people with common problems, but often no real answers. But if someone really gave you an answer for how to fix things that you believed would work, what would you do with that information?

Boss lied

I'm new to the sub and don't know what I'll get from this but here it goes. I got a new position at work going from construction to an office job and slowly realized how much my manager lied about the position. The two biggest things were over time and holiday breaks, over time was important because I took a pay cut in this position and I was told they have it which was a lie then find out a month in that I'm scheduled to be on call during the holidays which was never discussed and I am still a non exempt employee. So I thought I would reach out to hr to see what my options were, the shitty hr rep told my boss everything and I had to sit with him in a one on one meeting. It was borderline belittling, having to tell him repeatedly why…

Job hunting is giving me anxiety. How long does it take to land a college level job?

I knew it was difficult to begin with. I had three internships, and it still wasn't enough for me to find a job this year. I quit in February to seek a better-paying job. After thousands of failed applications in five months, I started using AI to paraphrase the job descriptions in my resume. It was successful, and I finally secured several appointments. The most challenging aspect for me is the ghosting. After dozens of interviews, nearly all of them ghosted me. Not knowing when they will call back within two weeks is causing me so much anxiety. It's been eight months since I quit, and I've only had one company interview me a third time. But it's been nine weeks since I applied, four weeks since my last interview, and they informed me earlier this week that they will decide between me and one other candidate. So much anxiety,…

Being fired?

I (NB22) had already made a post about a crappy little restaurant/cafe/coffeeshop or whatever it is that I work at. Basically you can read past post here . To summarize I did alot of extra work for no pay and was told that that was how my boss set it up on purpose . Anyways, against everyone's advice (ik I'm sorry to all of you who tried to help and to myself) I stayed. I sat down and had a conversation with my boss and I had a set schedule and set duties and she never encroached on any of these. I really needed the job so I worked extra through holidays and summer through my weekends and I covered for everyone I could cover for. However recently I got sick and was out for 3 days. I was still sick for about another week after that but one of…
