Dude looks miserable in both photos and I just want to give him a hug and let him cry on my shoulder.

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.

When I got my first corporate job, I was lectured about the concept of a "working lunch."

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

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."

30 minute lunch break and having to ask permission to take it.

Just out of frame there are a hundred shareholders cheering him on. The miserable look is an act.

This is true of an enterprise/company union. Industrial unions tip the seesaw to the other side.

As they should

What about when the president of your union also sits on the board for your execs :')

(What happens is they don't fight for you and you all get fucked and still have to pay your fees to those mf-ers)

I'm not anti-union, just anti- my union.

[-] Clent@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Elect a different union president?

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

We have now but the damage is done.

[-] Srh@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

What is your union? Cause I don't believe you.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I'm a public servant and our ex-president (who was in charge at the time of our strike) was sitting on the executive board for the party in power. It was a very big issue and they have since been voted out.
