And that's actually a good thing because once you allow this it's easy for employers to pressure you into "voluntarily" not taking a break, because "it's so busy right now" or whatever.

That’s when I say “hahaha no”, write it down as a request. Then, when yearly evaluations comes along, I write into my evaluation so it’s on the record

lol wtf are yearly evaluations?

A yearly meeting with your boss where they either tell you all the things you did great and maybe a couple small things you can improve on while not paying you more, or they tell you how terrible you did and try to pressure you into doing more work by hanging the threat of your job (homelessness, loss of insurance, death) over your head.

it's where you show off your union-recommended salary increase and tell them to make you a better offer.

OH, you mean in a country with workers rights and a decent work culture. For a second I thought you fellows were American. Someone said "states" and I just jumped to conclusions lol.

A way to only give one raise per department by pitting coworkers against each other based on goals they set for themselves. No, really…

Don't forget they also hold you responsible for all your work they held up.

That’s fucking evil.

Wait, you are sometimes asked to skip lunch?!
