[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the deal OP, it's up to you to figure this out.  Either change your current behavior (i.e. work more at work -- or create more work to do at work), quit your job, or keep on keeping on but do it SILENTLY.  Nobody wants to hear your bitching about the fact you get to work out at lunch and get paid for it. [/quote]

Everyone has 1 hour lunch break so nothing wrong with going workout during lunch.[/quote]

Who's everyone? I work through lunch--obviously, I'm in the private sector.

The federal workday, like a lot of jobs, is 8 hours, with 0.5 hour lunch.  If you work through lunch, you can't leave earlier, but if you take a longer lunch (either entirely eating, or go shopping or exercise or whatever), then you stay longer.  It's not unusual.[/quote]

Private sector people don't work through lunch because they want to leave early. They work through lunch because **they have work to do.**[/quote]

NP here.  You can't really compare fed to private on this one.  Feds are hourly and the .5 hour lunch is considered unpaid time so you're technically not supposed to work during that time although a lot of feds I know do.[/quote]
