I posted to legal advice but I’m just angry right now. I’m a Washington state exempt employee meaning I’m a salary employee and not hourly or in a union. I work at a community college, and our new supervisor informed us that exempt employees are not allowed to take lunch breaks or any breaks. Up until this point, everyone in my department has been taking their lunch breaks or leaving early if they had to skip it due to constant meetings and other chaotic things coming our way. Am I wrong to think I deserve an hour lunch break when my shift is 8am – 5pm? Am I just being emotional? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills listening to these people.
