Feels like the past few jobs I’ve had this year. Breaks/Lunch Break seem to not exist.
More often then not I’m asked to work 10 hours days, no time to stop for a break, and 30 minute lunch break if I’m lucky.
I was doing Fencing for 10-12 hour days. We almost never stopped to take a break. Just ate food as we went about our tasks.
I was working making concrete forms. Same thing. No breaks. One 30 minute lunch break. Heavy lifting, fast paced… Day in, day out.
Now. Working at a car wash. 10 hour days No break, No lunch break. Some days we’ll have plenty of down time, but others are hell. Cars come from open to closed, and I’m essentially expected to tend to them until the wave of people stop, or we close.
Just feels like so many jobs ask you to ignore your own humanity anymore. No break. 30 minutes to force feed yourself. Fast paced, high stress…
I can’t keep doing this.
