Krispy Kreme Krew… that explains a lot.
unions are important
Boycott Krispy Kreme, get healthy.
The donut shops around me are so much better anyway, so even if you don’t want to get healthy, there’s probably better options.
Dedicated doughnut places are insanely expensive here, but Kroger of all places has some quite good cake doughnuts. Their yeast ones suck, though.
Gotta pay for those executive bonuses somehow…
First Eye roll was at krew
What’s the problem with the Krispy Kreme Krew?

“you see the uniforms are needed to keep everything klean, the pointy hat makes splashes run off rather than collect on the top!”
That’s too long. We should change it to… wait…
I feel this.
At my last job (automotive manufacturing: production) we got a total of an hour of break over the course of our 12hr shifts.
You know what really pissed off the managers? When they found out we were rotating through breaks all day long.
Hahaha. Fuckers.Did you make your numbers? Then mgmt can fuck right off
If you get your job done following safety rules etc. why should number of breaks matter? So yeah.
Management: if they hit the numbers while taking extra breaks, that means we could raise the numbers higher and not have to pay them more?
Also management: We need more temps, our turnover rate is terrible! No one wants to work anymore…
I love the circles these standard systems make. My last job would increase pay every now and then because of poor attrition rates. Then they’d increase the standard to match the increase, gaslight anybody who’d complain and then be shocked when the attrition doesn’t change and now the old workers are pissed off.
in Germany it is required by law that you have a 30 minute break if you work for 6 or more hours, and that is federal minimum. Turbo-capitalism ruins a society
ruins a society
Good thing we don’t have one of those.
South Australia it depends on the Award (like a default contract for a particular kind of work, it sets minimum conditions)
But at a bare minimum, if you’re working at a shift of 4 hours or more, you’re required to be given a 15 minute paid tea break.
If you’re working 5 hours or more, Add a 30 minute unpaid lunch/dinner break.(*minimum, 1 hour max if scheduled - max as otherwise it’s really just split shifts)
This is similar in California. Tho to clarify, this is a 30 minute break that is unpaid.
Is that not what’s happening here? 5 or more hours you get a 30 minute break
For feedback, I would just print off the federal labor codes for my country, highlighting specific sections. I’d just hand it to the management verbatim. I wouldn’t cherry pick or leave anything out, just emphasize specific passages.
Guess what? That’s illegal here.
It would be a thinly veiled threat that I’ll ruin their lives if they don’t back track immediately… All said without uttering a single syllable.
Unionize every workplace
I don’t really understand what’s being implied here. Isn’t 30 > 15?
The 15 minute breaks were paid.
Now they are only getting the mandatory 30 minute paid break for lunch (which they only have to do if you work over 5 hours in a shift).
They still get the legally mandated 15 minute breaks; they just aren’t paid for it.
You get mandatory 30 min paid breaks? For me it’s unpaid lol.
Scheduled for 5 hours, no 30 minutes necessary.
Scheduled for 5.5 hours, you get 30 minute unpaid break so you are there for longer but make the same amount of money
My guess is they probably previously had 1 or 2 15-minute paid breaks, and a 30-minute unpaid lunch break. But now they only get the unpaid break.
Bingo. Lots of states have an optional set of 15 minute breaks that are in my state often referred to as smoking breaks because the Midwest is still in large part stuck in 1910.
I think its time to kwit.
‘effectively immediately’. Fuckers can’t even use correct words.
When does it go into effect?
“Pretty much right now, basically?”

Just bringing it up might get the breaks back. But fighting for better working conditions is always the right choice
Reclaim your workplace from the owners!
wE cAN’t FiNd GOod HeLp!
Better check your state laws. Paid breaks plus unpaid lunch are legally required depending on the state
