I will pay folding money for a photo of shrift standing on her desk going all Norma Rae with a little sign that reads, "UNION."
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I stand corrected:
Federal law does not require lunch or coffee breaks. However, when employers do offer short breaks (usually lasting about 5 to 20 minutes), federal law considers the breaks work-time that must be paid. Unauthorized extensions of authorized work breaks need not be counted as hours worked when the employer has expressly and unambiguously communicated to the employee that the authorized break may only last for a specific length of time, that any extension of the break is contrary to the employer's rules, and any extension of the break will be punished. Bona fide meal periods (typically lasting at least 30 minutes), serve a different purpose than coffee or snack breaks and, thus, are not work time and are not compensable.

The only thing that is federal is that non-exempt workers will get overtime pay after a 40 hour work week.

Oh, well done Plei! Congratulations.
unless you're desperate, you might as well show 'em what's in the package.
This is only true in phone interviews; I wangled a mate an interview with my (fearsome, female) director a few years back and, after thinking he was dazzling, he realised on leaving the room that his zipper and shorts were undone. And gaping. He got the job, mind you.

Our wings are not tired.
Give me a break. No really, I'm taking a lunch break now.

He got the job, mind you.
Were there unexpected additional duties?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Allyson, we have a fairly good sized parking lot - we could have a bonfire.
