State law is that employees must have a mandatory 30 minute meal break per 5+ hour shift. I haven’t taken a break since probably November. My blood sugar is slowly getting back to normal since I’ve eaten (I have problems with regulating it). I feel so relieved. But now I’m just thinking about how many more shifts I’ll go through with no break. I’m a pushover so I let it happen to me. How do I stand up for myself more and ask managers to take breaks instead of waiting for them to come to me?
