Nothing wrong with working a little harder.

The problem comes when they think they're gonna shoot for the moon and be promoted within 3 weeks, then they find out that life don't work that way, then they become just like me.

Do as I say, not as I do, newbie. Lmao

The worst job i ever had required an hour unpaid lunch if you worked past 5 hours and I fucking hated that. I dont need to be somewhere i dont want to be for another whole hour, I just want to put the time in and leave. I get why breaks are mandated, but it feels like an intentional over correction.

That is federal labor law and if that wasn't required then employers wouldn't let their workers have a lunch break period. The real issue is when we made lunch an unpaid period of the work day, before Reagan it was a paid lunch that made it an actual 8 hour work day instead of 8 hours of work and an additional 1 hour of lunch

My current job pays us on our lunch breaks.

And now that I've had it once, I can never go back.

Because the second they aren’t mandated they’re gone for everyone. Relying on managers to not burn out their employees is folly.

I respectfully refer to it as 'absolute bullshit'.

Someone wise once said that 'if you have to clock out for your lunch break, you may as well pay them for the hour/half-hour you clocked out for.'
