Working through lunch, not getting paid for it

Stubby, you idiot....

Use your spell check or shut the hell up.

Goh bac tu youer owerly job pion.

It's Jesus H Christ.

Oh, and you're a @#%$.

What a stupid ass jerk you are. HAHAHAH you are one to talk crap....you coward.

Get a Thesaurus and learn a new word.

For example I think you are an imbecile, a twat, a wanker, illegitimate, lonely, a buffoon, a malodourless runt, a prick, a tosser, unloved, possibly abused, out of your depth, unintelligent, sexually confused, unimaginative and uncreative. I also think you are a poor excuse of a man, without friends, without the respect of your peers, have an astounding lack of business and/or common sense and are currently only in your job because you kiss arse.

You are a failure, lacklustre, doomed, incomprehensible, a loser, a liar and a cheat.

Is that you BK?

You are a @#%$

You are still a coward.

Ca law provides for a MANDATORY lunch break of 1/2 hour for every 8 hours worked. If you work through lunch, then you do not have to clock out. Thats the law in CALI

Water off a duck's back.

But thanks for validating the hypothesis that all ERAC upper management are fools without the ability to think laterally or understand their employee's but merely stick to the excuses that they have been given by their bosses.

Let me guess your response.

Coward?

Hey guys, just found the site, think it's great. I am currently an MT who thinks I won't make it past the nine month threshold I heard so much about, but that's another post. The reason I am posting is because sometimes my branch manager makes me and the other people in the branch work through lunch. I don't mind working through lunch if I get paid for it, but I don't. The manager usually buys us all a crappy lunch (usually without asking us if we want to eat in), we eat it for 15 minutes at the most in the break-room, and then usually have to work the other 45 minutes of our lunch because some customer comes in, someone needs a pick-up, the phone rings, etc. etc.. At first I was adding the 45 minutes to the end of my day thinking it was the only fair thing to do considering we are forced to clock out one hour for lunch even if we did not take a full hour. But then I noticed my branch manager taking my hours down the day after I imputed them. I called him on it and he stated if I left at certain time, I have to clock out at that time. I told him I thought it wasn't fair since I don't take a full hour for lunch but have to clock out for one. He said it was Enterprise's policy that if the branch buys the employee lunch, then that is the same as taking an hour. I bit my lip and walked away but wanted to say:

"WHAT KIND OF BULLSH!T POLICY IS THAT!?! FIRST OF ALL THAT IS HIGHLY ILLEGAL IN THIS FREAKING STATE. IT'S BAD ENOUGH I HAVE TO WORK A TEN HOUR DAY BUT I HAVE TO WORK AN ELEVEN HOUR ONE AND GET PAID FOR TEN. WITH THE CRAP WAGES WE GET HERE ALL THE EXTRA HOURS COUNT. I MAKE THE SAME AS MY STONER FRIEND FROM HIGH SCHOOL WHO WORKS AT FRY'S AND YOU CAN'T GIVE ME ONE MORE FREAKIN HOUR BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT ME A COMBO MEAL FROM JACK IN THE BOX THAT I NEVER FREAKIN ASKED FOR. GO F#CK YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seriously, who can I complain to? My branch manager basically told me (in his own way) that complaining about things like this doesn't make me seem like a team player. The area manager? I'm afraid if I go to him, he'll just tell my branch manager and he'll give me a hard time. I'm think about going to the higher-ups at admin. Any advice?

I thinking about post on the Stage 3 section of these boards from now on.;)

This is a common practice in group 32 (Southern California). Many Branch Managers seriously believe that it is legal to exchange pizza for hours and upper management turns a blind eye. Someone should alert the Governator that ERAC is destroying the labor laws of CA.
