That's how they get you to agree to a 30 minute lunch break..
And to think it would snap him out of his sociopathic thinking socially brought onto him by capitalistic ideology.
30 minute lunch break and having to ask permission to take it.
When I got my first corporate job, I was lectured about the concept of a "working lunch."
Personally, I’m fine with a working lunch, as long as I stay clocked in. Because it means I either pick up OT at the end of the day, or I get to leave early. But this only works because I have a fairly flexible schedule, set my own meetings, etc… And I certainly wouldn’t try to enforce it on my coworkers, because they may want to be able to walk away and disconnect for a while.
Meal time is time for whatever you want to do; If you want to stay at your desk and play catch-up on some emails, then great. If you want to walk away and de-stress for an hour, then great. Neither one should be the expectation, because the time should be at the employee’s discretion, not the employer’s.
To paraphrase my manager, "It would behoove you to consider what you can do for the company."
