Hey friends, so when the pandemic started I lost my job. So I started working for a landscaping company here is Austin Texas. Mainly handling the customer service side.
I got promoted relatively quickly because I was a killer on the phone when it came to sales.
Well my Grandma died my first week there and obviously I took off to go to her funeral. HR was very understanding. However, when I got back, it turns out they didn’t allow ANYONE to take a lunch because I was out.
It made the dynamic at work really weird for me. I talked to my supervisor because this is a major issue. But they let them have two 10 min breaks and they bought them lunch, so to them everything was okay. But is that even legal? Can you work 8 hours and NOT have a lunch?
