Why break so early?

[arice11]

Break is my favorite part of work actually.
To talk and smoke with the Red Priestess who gave me a magical candy cane and lottery ticket for Christmas <3
Seniors! Alaverga!

My building once took breaks sometimes within one hour after start time.
No one liked it, and the building supervisor was quickly replaced the following season.
Early breaks are for sissy's, lol

Usually when we break early it's because primary "ran out of work"

We go on break any time freight is late getting to the station. So, yesterday I had a start time of 0745 and at 0800 they called for a 1 hour break. This has been going on for weeks and everybody is getting pissed so now they simply bumped the start time forward; tomorrow start time 0930, that is, no customer will get Priority freight before 1030 including the hospitals and other medical facilities I deliver to every day. I'm making FO deliveries at 11:00 or later.

It's definitely not in compliance and I understand that's how peak has always been. They always harp about safety, yet they're working people 6hrs straight which means it's a hell of a lot more likely to let your guard down due to fatigue and leading to a in building accident / injury.

Pfft.

I'm lucky to get 15 minutes to stop and snack before hitting the grind again between my nxt days my 3 o clocks my 430s my 5 o clock pickups my resis and the hour it takes to drive out and the hour it takes to drive back to make it in by 8pm.

Better get out of my way on the freeway cuz once my foot hits the floor it doesn't let up.

Not the point. You contractually get a lunch break...you choose not to take it.

Why are you going along with that? They can't make you do that. No breaks in first hour and they can't make you take a break waiting for freight.

If you are a seasonal worker just keep your head down and don't say anything unless you plan on finding a new job after peak.

But do maintain your composure, know your body and your limits and DO NOT GET HURT. That is rule number 1.

Right, I sat around till 0845 while everyone else was on break then took my hour when everyone else was working.

I think my senior or her boss are leading the way here in Silicon Valley in innovating the revolution to underpay.

And as long as there are sheep to follow without question, she will succeed.

When do you find the time to fumble with your phone?

Sounds about right to me.

Usually when we take break after only being there one hour is because we have late loads arriving.

 

[By The Book]

My state law says a shift of 6 hours or more....a 30 min unpaid break. After 9 hours....you get a paid 10min break and an unpaid 30min.

Then your sort should be taking a 30 min unpaid if you are scheduled 6 hours or more. If your sort did this what would happen? Sort didn't get down in time? Do they need another loader to load more trucks which means more drivers? All this talk of not taking breaks is pissing me off!
