Federal law in the US requires a half hour unpaid lunch break for full time employees. Why does this translate sometimes into a forced hour long unpaid lunch break? I eat in about 10 minutes and I'd like to spend more time with my family. Do employers just plan for chatty lazy assholes to need an hour for lunch, and make the rest of us pay for it?

Do you know how we got the 8 hour work day and 40 hour work week? The fucking commies will say the unions gave it to us but that is a fucking lie. Henry Ford is the man who did this and he used studies he paid for to justify it. He was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived. The auto industry is what gave us the large middle class in the USA that is now shrinking dramatically over the past few decades with the loss of our manufacturing sector.

He also increased the pay of his factory workers with the thinking being that the people who make his products should be able to afford to buy those products.

Henry Ford was a great man, but of course the Jew Boys had to diminish him and defame him because Ford understood the threat Jews posed to a healthy America, and said so in print.

Ford also handed out copies of McGuffy's eclectic reader which taught people how to read and used jews as examples of evil.

Iv got a job interview with a company in a week and a half. It’s basically a dream job. If I get it my pay goes up by a factor of five starting off. I only work half the year. It’s laid back work. A laid back work environment. The company treats their workers very well. Im so nervous about it. They’re gonna sit me down with 5 people. I can’t stop stressing about it. The worst part is it’s online

Pro tip, drink a beer or take a shot or two before your interview, always calms my nerves and helps.

He also used an unsheathed tongue against big nose. Hey, look at us agreeing on things. I will say, though, that once automation is flourishing, we won't really need so many middle class people.

Why do you think that? Automation should replace the low paid workers.

Well, there's still a need that will be present, but if automation builds up then it'll leave more room for leisure time, which is how we get various types of innovation. We should all want more leisure time and although it might seem counter-intuitive to promote entrepreneurial ideas while also advocating for more leisure time, I can assure you it isn't. What we really want is to maintain production and basic tiers of service. We can compensate to varying extents in both of those areas with automation, but there will be gaps left for at least a few decades. Ultimately, this should be pushing people more toward innovation in areas that thrive on Entrepreneurship: Entertainment, Technology, Finance, Advertisement (which is, like it or not, crucial to Capitalism), Medicine and eventually Spirituality. I'm sure I'm I'm just scratching the surface too.

I think it's helpful to reframe the "they'll take our jobs" vantage point of automation. Not having a surplus of jobs isn't exactly what we should fear. We're seeing a symptom, not a cause. Instead, our problem is more like being invaded slowly under the guise of "immigration". That's what's really threatening unemployment rates. We need automation for leisure time, which increases contentment, peer bonding and innovation, among other things. It certainly isn't a bad thing... unless, of course, your country is being invaded. Just don't forget we still need programmers, maintenance guys and more things that won't immediately come to me.

Ford was an antisemite and was friends with Charles Lindbergh you fascist.

Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh were two great Americans!

But Ford liked Hitler and all jewish media told us Hitler was a bad person regardless that there is no actual evidence to prove this.

I believe you are required 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks. Giving one hour of unpaid break per day.

[–] 2 pts

Breaks are paid, which is why companies illegally try to avoid letting you take your breaks.

I got sick of other peoples schedules interfering with my time. Started working for myself on my schedule.

I don't eat lunch. We take a break around 9ish and then noonish so my help can get food. Neither is timed. We show up at 7 leave by 330 latest. We have lives besides work. Who said we have to work 40 hours a week to make a living?

My point is. If you don't like the situation you are in, find a new situation.

I had to beg to get a daily 30 min unpaid break (I am salary, but less 30 min of my day is 8 hours). Out of spite, my boss calls me to follow up on work-related items. If I don't answer the phone while I am on my 30 min break, he will get even more spiteful. I haven't quit, because I want the experience under the title for my current position to get a better job. However, he makes it difficult. I am generally productive most of the time, and finish client related tasks much quicker than the person I took over for, so I am not sure what his deal is, but the fact that it took them years to find someone who'd stick around long enough to replace the last person should be telling.

I'd tell you to slash his tires in the parking lot just to show him what spiteful is but I won't.

some jobs are more strenuous, not to mention if your doing 3 and 1 rotations (21 days work 7 days break) it gets really fatiguing if dont take breaks during your stint. now think about how businesses abuse employees and government has to step in to stop said abuses, it doesnt make a very efficient setup but it does make some sense

I get salary, don't work much.

It depends on where you work. There is a difference between having a sandwich on your desk in 10 minutes, and having a full meal at the canteen that requires 30 / 60 minutes. Anyway, you need at least 10 / 15 minutes of rest after meal in order to not have digestive problems.

What happened, when all the jobs were outsourced people got laid off and worked more than ever at their next job since they fired many employees and dumped the work on the rest.

Also it is considered weak in the US to beg for worker rights. So everyone took it up the ass. No one protested or fought back, most could not as many have large loans to pay off.

Many people I hear from at work pride themselves for working like a cattle, "I worked 12 hrs a day for years! I am Goyim of the year! Also why am I overweight?", they conflate working hard with more hours. They also live to work, nothing else in their life, no reason to truly live.

This is a kiked society, these companies want their profits so they can meet their quarterly earnings.

They make us cattle. You would think with the efficiency of technology they would reduce full time to 6 hours, but no we must work the cattle.

Working hard is only good for keeping your job, working more hours is what gets you more income.

They are required to provide a "minimum" of a 30min. If you work at a job dependent on labor percentages, they may have longer breaks to help offset labor costs.
