    And also start the compensated-hours clock the moment I step into the car. We’re giving you eight hours a day, not 12 now.

      Gonna need a hot lunch provided, laundry on-site, dog walkers, child care, a gym and a space where I can play guitar when I’m on a break

      Oooh you wanted me to give all that up for nothing? In that case you can get bent, get fucked, roll over and get fucked again. I left three jobs over RTO mandates. Every time I left it was for more money. Now I’m at a place that doesn’t even have an office, just Google meet and a PO box for physical mail.

      We also used to have paid lunches and breaks. We lost those in the 1980s.

      It would be remiss of me to neglect mentioning covering and mandating OSHA required breaks (and otherwise recognizing your worker are human beings) can improve their productivity to exceed the time and expense cost, so it’s not just being a good boss but economically sound.

      The failures of top-down management to even keep their own businesses working optimally is an indictment of capitalism at its core.

        What country? :-( Here in the UK that’s a basic given, like, super basic. How did your country lose that without an immediate huge general strike?

        I would never work somewhere that doesn’t give paid breaks, it’s not like it’s my actual free time, I can’t just go home and do whatever, etc. Wild.

        Honestly, come live here, or in the EU, you’ll be treated far better. If you don’t even get paid breaks, what about other basic human rights like paid sick leave, a minimum of a month of holiday days per year, can’t be sacked on the spot or without a valid reason (unfair dismissal), must be given reasonable (paid) notice as per contract, etc?

        If you are lacking any of those, then come here! Some countries don’t have free healthcare and cheap high quality public transport, we have those too! :-)

          You’re going to need to take a look at your country’s immigration policies before you go ahead telling people to come

            True. The UK has downgraded as a country since leaving the EU. You guys have only mildly better benefits than the US and a lot of things are more expensive.

            You’re a freaking island. Why would you leave the best trade agreement you’ll ever get??? For a different colored passport?!?

            The US, EU, China, India, etc. are all sending you the back of the line for trade negotiations. If you’re lucky, you might get the same terms as Mexico.

          This is the United States. And yeah, 80%+ of us would have a hard time getting into the EU. I’m pretty sure the UK immigration policies are even more limited.
