[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2969755, member: 24302"] Used to do a 4X10 rt that I would take an hour break in the middle of the day no matter whether I was working 7 or 10 hrs that day. I'd go to Subway and sit and read paper and relax. They used to demand we take hour breaks and that was fine with me. Then they decided they could drop a rt in our loop and divide it up amongst the rest of us. Suddenly was running like crazy and most days could only get a 30 min break after 1630, sometimes 1730(starting at 0745). Had no choice in order to make service and get back to bldg on time. And that was perfectly fine with them as long as it suited their needs. The company's take on things seems to be safety and breaks are fine but squeezing out an extra nickel comes first. If couriers get in an accident because they're tired and overloaded it's on the courier. [/QUOTE]
