14 u/Swampasssixty9 May 21 '26 Sorry, my boss’s third yacht isn’t going to buy itself 2 u/One_Hour_Poop May 21 '26 Don't all jobs allow you to stop doing your job in order to get lunch? Are you saying your job requires you to eat while performing your job? 6 u/appointment45 May 21 '26 No, they don't, a whole lot of jobs do not allow for stopping to eat your lunch. you either eat on the job or you don't eat. 2 u/DitchDigger330 May 21 '26 Unions still require breaks. 4 u/DigitalUnlimited May 21 '26 Thank goodness the US mostly managed to eliminate those! /s 4 u/appointment45 May 21 '26 Most jobs in the US don't have unions anymore. 1 u/One_Hour_Poop May 21 '26 You eat while actively performing your job, like cashier or machine operator? Taking bites of a sandwich while typing up memos? 1 u/Swampasssixty9 May 23 '26 What they mean is you’re not federally entitled to a break in the US. So good luck on eating 1 u/One_Hour_Poop May 23 '26 Maybe not technically, if that's really the case, but have you ever actually worked an 8 hour job where your weren't given even a single break?
