| I was just complaining to my husband about my Gen Z colleagues (we’re older millennials). Not only do they have a very irreverent approach to work - no respect for hierarchy, no sense of urgency, no proactive problem solving - they ask a million questions instead of just doing stuff. Very aggravating. |

| They should be paid if they're mandatory and extend your overall day |

So she wants to be paid for the full 8 (or whatever) hours she is at work, instead of forcing a break and only getting paid for 7.5? Idk doesnt seem that unreasonable. |

My old local government job paid for lunch hour, but the overall pay was low so it wasn't really worth it. If you're an exempt worker it really doesn't matter, the annual salary is the annual salary no matter how they pretend it's divided up.
What drove me nuts was not being able to skip lunch and go home early because "it's illegal not to give you a lunch break" and I'd be like "yeah, but you kept me in a meeting all afternoon so I couldn't take lunch, now you're penalizing me twice...." |

She sound like she is joking and doing it for TT.
We worked 12-hours shifts non-stop with couple of 1-minute bathroom breaks. I ended up in ER two times. I lost count of how many times others had to go. Someone collapsed on the street- all work related. I also didn't get paid for training or the minimum required; lots of wage theft. I'm glad this generation are not letting anything remotely similar happen to them. |

I watched it. I thought the law in Virginia was that you had to have a mandatory break for every 4 hours of work. It is hard to understand if she's talking about a 30 min lunch break, or just a random 30 min break.
