Antiwork

My work doesn’t give us breaks even for 9-hour shifts.

I work for a huge multi-billion dollar chain. It's a job where you are on your feet 24/7. Literally, they designed the store to have no chairs anywhere on the floor so we can't sit down. At this particular location (I've worked many locations), you have to ask over the walkie-talkie for your break, and you're pretty much shamed for doing so (not verbally but it is very obvious). Some of my coworkers work 9 hours (ON THEIR FEET THE ENTIRE TIME!) and do not get even a 10 min break when my state requires a 1 hour break for 9 hours of working. My other locations put our breaks into the schedule everyday because they're a huge company and can get into big trouble for not giving breaks…. this is one of the thousands of issues with this company but I also know other companies are a million times…
