Humans beings have to eat, so why do you have to work over to make up for lunch time? I'm still at work, I'm just eating. I've taken to just eating lunch at my desk because I don't wanna have to work over.

This is America. Why aren't we getting paid work lunches?

most jobs have a couple 15 minute break to do what's needed and possibly a 30 min lunch (this vary's on the job).

if job doesn't have a lunch period, gotta eat on a break.

I'm not understanding. Do you mean you get a lunch break, but have to work longer to make up for that?

if lunch isn't paid, one works for the 8 hours but they don't pay for the half hour.

if you take any sort of lunch, you have to make up the time you take at the end of the day. it's inhumane.

Because, for some reason, the American worker is idiotic and thinks that worker's rights are socialist/communist musings.

I normally take a lunch in between clients. I am a contractor though, so its not like I am getting 'paid' to eat.

My last job had a paid 45 minute lunch break which was pretty cool. Now I have to clock out for an hour.

You should have stayed with them! Sounds a lot more glamorous than drinking slim fast at your desk like you're in a third world country or something.

I want to go out to eat. :( I feel like I'm in a cage.

I get a half hour lunch break, and we do a half hour "meeting" at the end of a shift to go over what was done and what needs to be done.

In reality, that half hour meeting lasts 10 minutes and we're free to relax for 20 minutes until it's time to clock out. Add in a free meal from the cafe and it's pretty nice.
