I know this isnt as bad as some posts on this sub, but its still frustrating. I am paid for the meeting, but it still messes me up.
I work in an appointment based job, so we can't really shift our lunch hour if a meeting needs to be at a certain time. Our schedule is such that we close for an hour and we all take lunch at the same time. On Wednesdays, we close for 2 hours for lunch and a meeting. Sometimes that meeting is at another location. We are expected to clock out for lunch at 12, be at the meeting by 1230, meeting is over by 130 and we have to be to work by 2. So we have 30 minutes before the meeting and 30 minutes after, so technically we still get that hour lunch. But, 30 minutes is not enough time to run home and let the dogs out or to pop to the bank or the grocery store or to run home and poop in my own bathroom. And it's about a 10 minute drive to the meeting. So in the end, I get about 20 min before and after
The presentations used to be optional…but no one was coming.
