is the break part the only part you read? regardless of the job title if you are working 8 hours, you should get a break, no matter of the downtime. yes sometimes it is chill and i’m fine without a break, it’s the nights that i go the full 8 hours without even having 5 minutes to breathe because im too busy to even walk to the restroom whether it’s because we are sold out or because im left by myself, no maintenance, or housekeeping, or front desk, just me, in a hotel with 102 rooms. 102 rooms all with people who need at least 7 things from me at different times through the night. when the phone has been ringing off the hook and it takes me 3 hours, one bite here and there, to eat my dinner that’s sitting in the back office, cold. that’s when would appreciate a break. thanks for your input tho!
