Grind away

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - Italy - Genova

Today, I got stuck in the elevator at work. When I was finally let out, my boss decided I shouldn't get a lunch break, because I'd already had over an hour off work while in the elevator. I had to starve through 5 more hours of work. FML

Show it anyway

I don't think it is :| Denied a paid lunch because you were stuck in an elevator? Might be on the line.

Not all companies offer paid lunches though. My last job didnt. I don't think it's legal to be denied a lunch break, but the laws may be different there.

Really depends on their minimum hour limit (some have 4 some 5-6) and if they give you a paid break or not. I've never had a job that allows more than a 10 minute paid break

Where I live, you aren't entitled to any kind of break unless you work for MORE than six hours.

In Australia you're entitled to a break after five hours at maximum, in some industries such as retail you're entitled to a break at four hours. Not sure what the situation is like in Italy.

You'd think he would be a bit more merciful considering the situation you were just in. FYL.

Unless eating in your office is forbidden, you can alway order food.

even if it is forbidden, I'd do it anyways.

That's ridiculous! If he has a supervisor, report him! Otherwise quit because that job sounds like hell

Because everyone is in a position to up and quit their job.

That's illegal almost everywhere, unless you're in a sweatshop in a country where people don't have rights. Report his ass and get him fired
