minus-squareColonel PaniclinkfedilinkEnglish11•2 months ago“Give me a break” is probably what all the workers are saying. Who the hell wants to work through lunch and not get a break? Who the hell thinks that’s more productive or better in any way? No! We want to work more for less benefits!!! Let’s just skip nourishment and a brief rest, that won’t backfire at all. /s
