    Oh yes, I'm def still working over 40 hours!

    I think my guilt may be playing a role in this but I've also noticed something different with him for sure.

    I'm somewhat afraid to bring it up because I don't want him to tell me to stop... :(

    Also, healthier employees means a company will pay out less in health care expenses, so really you are saving the company money by taking care of your health!

    I started taking a lunch break (30 minutes) to go outside and just walk around and after a week my boss brought me in his office and said I am not working long enough hours. I work 7:30am to 6:00pm and take a half hour break, so I am still working 10 hours a day (5 days a week). I asked him if this is about taking 30 minutes to go outside during lunch, and he got all flustered and was like "um, you just need to work more hours". I'm sure he knew that he couldn't technically tell me that I couldn't take a lunch break.

    While I was taking the next few days FUMING and thinking about how to handle this situation, the CFO announced our office is closing. Problem solved! For you, hopefully it won't come down to the boss telling you that you can't take a break, but if he really had a problem with it, he would tell you (and not just get huffy when you come back).
