Lol, breaks. Get a big boy job and don't have Lumbergh looking over your shoulder. I seriously don't understand how grown men work in a world where every minute of time is tracked.

Our time off awards start at one hour, and are used pretty regular, thanks for busting your butts to get that done, leave an hour early Friday. They can go up to three days. On the spot bonuses are almost never less than 250.

No. It’s not wrong. That feels like a slap in the face rather than an appreciation gift. A paid day off - even a half day - is appreciation. Not a random 10 minute break when who knows how long it takes to even get to your break location etc. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I always add extra time to my breaks and in-between breaks, sometimes 10 minutes sometimes 40 minutes depending on the length it takes for a particular CNC program to run. For example, lunch is at 12:00p, if I haven't had the CNC set up for a run by 11:59a, drop what I'm doing and it sits. Doesn't matter if it's a 30 minute program. If I can get it set-up before, and runs during lunch and switches axes during lunch, I'll spend a minute to make sure it doesn't fuck up. If it does I'll terminate the program and deal with it after lunch. I do stuff like reviewing blueprints/DXFs and programming for new parts but for the most part no-one asks or hassles me to operate other machines in the downtime. If they do I'll remind them that I'm their only programmer for these types of machnines, they'd be hard pressed to find someone who specializes in these machines in the area Well, that's a shitty attitude. My employer would tell you goodbye, we will go outside the area for a replacement. Also extremely short sighted of the employer to not have more than one person to do a job. Nobody in production where I work can only do one thing. Everyone can do almost anything there with various degrees of perfection. I like the people I work with so I try to do what I can to keep them happy and productive. I only keep 2/3 of the facilities production lines running and design their equipment and make their equipment and repair their equipment and maintain the documentation, and, and, and, and...you get the picture. |

It looks like you're in a cubicle, so I'm going to ass-U-me that you're not an hourly employee of the "Detoilet Three" (GM, Ford, and Stellantis).
The Detoilet companies pull similarly-insulting crap on special occasions, such as an extra 15 minutes of lunch (on top of the usual 30 minutes) for Christmas, or an annual, 5 minute line break to "remember the workers killed on the job". For the daily humiliation regimen, there is a "Zero Tolerance" policy for being even 30 seconds late or leaving early, and the need to ask for permission (to get job coverage) to use the restroom. Management is allowed to slow-walk your bathroom request by up to 30 minutes, from the time you made your request, before you can do what Nature compells of you without repercussions. It takes 20 years (!) of employment to get 4 weeks of vacation time, and the more recently hired folks receive no benefits or paid time off, even after years of employment. In addition to all of that stuff, a normal work day is 11 hours long, with the possibility of a mandatory weekend announcement being made on that week's Thursday. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: One year at a former job we all got a small plastic tealight holder (about 2 inches in diameter and an inch high) with the name of the company printed on it as the Christmas gift. 100 of them probably cost 5 bucks ordered from China, even with the printing on it. Some colleagues and I were commenting on how cheap it was and I stepped on mine (intentionally) and crunched it to pieces and the boss saw it. I got a "not a team player " talk after the holidays were over. Small BS crap like the OP and my candle holder are far worse than nothing at all. It shows contempt and disregard for the employees. I don't think we are getting any sort of holiday bonus this year. We got cards thanking us, and a line stating, "We are working on a tangible gift as well as this card." Got those yesterday, and he apologized for being late getting them to us. It's a fucking card. Last few years have just been cash bonuses. |

When I worked in the Harley shop, one year our bonus was trinkets from the dealer show that other dealers put out. Pens, keychains, etc.
Literally half the guys in the shop called the shops on their 'bonuses' and got new jobs and left.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Serious question, why don’t Americans value their labor as much as Europeans? I work remotely for a company based in EU. European work life balance is all I’ve ever known. Why don’t Americans want the same level of working hours/PTO/maternity and paternity leave etc? We love to bag on China for being a big sweatshop but it seems we’re really behind compared to our actual first world peers. It just seems insane to me that even a McDonald’s fry cook in my company country gets 4 weeks PTO whereas some Americans have to work years to attain that. France has 56% GPD per capita compared to us. If you want to earn less just work less. |
