Wait, you guys are getting lunch breaks?

In Germany you are required by law to take a 30min break after working for 6 hours. Most people take a lunch break 12-1pm and it’s well respected where people don’t put meeting in or anything. It’s unpaid though

Another 15mins are required (so in total 45mim) if you work more than 8 hours in the day. Personally I don't like that law because it's a mandatory, yet unpaid break. I can see the idea behind it for physically hard working jobs but in my job I can just eat and chill while working because the work is chill, too.

“Our lunch breaks are stagger to prevent wasting time. Mines at 10:30 and I find that the first hour of the day goes by a lot quicker than the second 7 hours.”
This reminds of The Office episode where Dwight is (Acting) Manager.

Yes, in most countries (where workers rights are actually respected, as opposed to America), an employer is required by law to give you a lunch break.

Geewhiz I wish there were some sort of law that protected laborers. Almost like some sort of “labor law.” The government should create a Department of Labor. Then that way it would be a legal requirement that you get to take a break. That would be too weird though, right? /s
