:sad: So I really just want to go eat something gross and greasy for lunch today instead of hitting the gym. Why you ask? Of ya cause my boss doesnt know how to treat people. She is 70 years old and does not understand you cannot treat people the way you could 40 years ago!:explode: She blames me when business is bad, (and I am an insurance agent mind you, so I cannot help that) and when I am busy, like I have been for the last week, she gets mad when I dont get things finished! I hate it here!
:sad:
Dont let me eat bad!

and Thanks for letting me vent!

    I did at 11. I have a half hour left before I go to lunch! She doesnt like if I take breaks. Her exact words were "I dont pay for you to take breaks."

    you have a right to take breaks

    fatty food won't make her any better. You know that you will feel better if you eat well and she will always be a biddy

    I told her the same things..I have a right to take breaks, but I added in "by law." She assumed because I have an unpaid hour lunch, that I still have to sit for 8. So now that I told her it is the law, she gives me 5 minutes at 11am, and 5 a 4pm, as long as she is in the office, and we are not busy. Oh, and I cant go anywhere but right outside the office, incase someone comes in.

    Don't quote me on this....but I thought the law on breaks was 15 minutes several times during a shift.

    I think you're right. Last place I worked they told us by law they had to give us at least a 1 hr unpaid lunch AND 2 15min paid breaks for an 8 hour shift. I am in Canada though, maybe it's different.

    I'm in insurance too, albiet I am in dental insurance and don't see, but rather recruit the dental offices to be part of the plans our sales folks sell and represent to the brokers. It's been a rough last six months on both aspects of the business and morale is pretty low, especially starting goals for the new year. So I can certainly comiserate, unfortunately, while the first greasy bite would be great but once you get back, she'd still be the same and you'd feel worse, about your daily goals anyway. Keep your head up and forget about her!!!!:flowerforyou:

    The actual labor law website says

    Rest periods are based on the total hours worked daily at the rate of 10 minutes for each 3 1/2 hours worked

    ya right...employers here do NOT listen..
