I can’t believe this has to be said.
But since there are people
trying to eliminate the legal requirement
for lunch breaks,
I guess it has to be.
Give your employees
paid lunch breaks.
They aren’t robots.
They need water and food and rest.
When people are hungry or thirsty,
THAT is all they’re thinking about.
They aren’t thinking about
whatever task you’ve given them
to do.
They certainly aren’t thinking about
how best to serve the company.
They’re doing sh*t work for you.
So give them the hour off
and PAY them for that time.
If you can’t afford to pay them
for that hour,
you can’t afford to be in business.
Treat the humans you hire
as…HUMANS.
