Yeah, this is kinda common. I worked for a job that was 9-5:30 or 8:30 to 5 with 30 minute lunch. Some places also don't care. I can take a 2 hour lunch at my current job and no one would say shit.

Woah that’s kinda nice they didn’t care. Apparently mine used to watch ur screens all day but they recently stopped doing that 👌🏻 now that I’ve been onboarded my schedules way too busy anyways. Sometimes Idek if I can fit my break in. I’ll have to talk to them if they schedule too much for me..

I had one job.... They had a time clock that recorded the minute (many do 1/10 hour or similar, not here)

At the end of the week, they'd have a supervisor sit with a pile of cards and look at everyone's punch in time.... 3 minutes late in one day.. or 3 minutes late for the entire week, they'd dock you for 3 minutes. Nevermind getting there early, no credit. Nor for leaving 3 minutes late, nor shortening your lunch....

And this one poor guy doing the asshat's work spent 3 hours.... At double the pay that they were "saving."

This was long ago, when classified ads were printed every day. We finally started posting the ads, daily... Next to the time clock. (And nobody took them down)

That's terrible. The company I work for requires hourly employees to take a 30 min lunch and they pay you for it, in addition to your two 15 min paid breaks.

That much, we had.. but by state law

Your state requires paid lunch?

Yeh both of these jovs were salary so it didn't matter anyway. One was in person and my current is hybrid. But mostly remote.
