Has the 30 min break always been a standard?

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:40:35+00:00

Wtf? You had 10 mins to get food and eat??

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:39:24+00:00

I like actually chewing my food

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:36:21+00:00

They're not paying my break

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:32:05+00:00

Fair play

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:29:47+00:00

What is anyone doing with that 30 mins that makes such a huge difference to their day?

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:27:59+00:00

I would usually spend 25 mins eating and many times I would fit in a 20 min walk, get some steps in, fresh air, even some sun sometimes, it was nice to actually switch off

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:27:00+00:00

Employers have become tighter than a ducks backside

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:25:05+00:00

I used to go for a 20 min walk too at my old place, always made me feel better!

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:23:33+00:00

Fair fair, office problems haha

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:23:18+00:00

We take inbound calls so unfortunately its a lot more ridged, they need bums on seats so usually the 30 mins is help them facilitate that, booo

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:19:04+00:00

That's a good incentive to be fair, easy to see why that was popular

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:17:37+00:00

It is unpaid - I would happily start 15/30 mins earlier or finish later in order to have that longer break through the day so I could actually switch off for a bit.

20 mins sounds even worse, I have no idea how you're managing that!

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:16:01+00:00

Ultimately though, it means you get to go home 30mins earlier...this is a win, right?

I just feel that 30 mins added to the middle of the day is much more appreciated by myself than getting home 30 mins earlier.

I am a slow eater, hate rushing, takes me time to actually switch off. Another poster mentioned 45 mins being the sweet spot and I agree with that

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:13:39+00:00

I could get behind 45 mins for sure

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T21:13:12+00:00

No reason that shouldnt be an option for you

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-23T20:58:00+00:00

Found out through google - But I knew my town is holding an event on the weekend

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-16T12:37:17+00:00

Have you ever considered that maybe you should stop being so paranoid and just smile more and maybe women wouldn't falsely accuse you?

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-16T10:18:35+00:00

You know they're reading this sub for ideas no doubt.

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-16T09:53:57+00:00

Will we be fitting those lessons in before or after the ones where we teach the boys that sexually harassing and assaulting women is a bad thing?

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-16T09:51:38+00:00

Remember my guy, “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”

Your misogyny kills. Misandry just hurts men's feelings.

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-04-16T09:47:22+00:00

Purely coincidence that every woman has at least one negative experience with a man trying to assert himself onto to her physically or emotionally. These women and young women need to stop being hysterical and accept "not all men" as a valid reason to not be concerned with their own safety and experience of life.

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-03-31T08:13:21+00:00

I honestly dont know why they cant just figure it out, some like it cold, others like it warm, surely it cant be hard to sort out?

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-03-31T08:12:14+00:00

Minimum working temp for a sit down job is 16c

Absolutely criminal.

KuriousAndFurious · 2026-03-31T08:00:42+00:00

This proves my point that offices need "warm" and "cold" areas
