I hate thinking about this shit now because I’m losing 5 minutes clocked in every single day just because some nerd loser app developers updated the app and my phone (from 2015) is too old to run it so i can’t clock in in my car anymore and my locker is downstairs and the time clock is upstairs

and they force me to take an unpaid break, which I used to support conceptually because otherwise employers would pressure workers to skip breaks, but how I really fucking hate because it’s just 30 more minutes I’m at this place not being paid. Since I cook food I basically actually rest whenever I’m done with my shit. I go sit down whenever it works with the timing of everything. Unless I’m pushing myself to Go Hard and prep up for the next day I have plenty of break time and if I don’t it’s 99% because I’m doing it to myself. So I kinda resent this fucking administrative bureaucratic nerd bullshit of “take your unpaid break, you have to clock out at least 25 minutes and then clock back in for at least 5 for every 7+ hour shift”

On that note I really thought PAID BREAKS were federally mandated, every shitty retail job I’ve ever had involved at least two PAID 15 minute breaks and one unpaid 30 minute break for every 8 hour shift.

I effectively get them anyway since I go sit down for 20-30 minutes to eat on the clock after I get my lunch food out, but like, why the fuck isn’t that shit a guaranteed given
