Better check your state laws. Paid breaks plus unpaid lunch are legally required depending on the state
This is the kind of fucking bullshit that happens when a company goes public. It is no longer about product and productivity; it is about value extraction. The first place it is extracted from is the labor force.
unions are important
I think its time to kwit.
I get two 10 min breaks in a 10 hr shift
Fuck America.
When your only option is getting fucked over, and you need to play it safe, destroy them one inch at a time.
Be asymmetrical. Be guerilla. Every single day.
Sleep in the cooler. After you huff all the nitrous from the whip cream.
Honestly, never trust a company replacing C’s with K’s, especially if it contains alliteration. They will shy away from adding the 3rd K too publicly, but they know what it means.
hey hey
I would interpret this to mean that your 15 minute break is now a 30 minute break.
Standard fare is you get two 15-minute breaks and one 30 minute break. I’m guessing you now only get one 30 minute break which seems like it should be illegal but I’m assuming this is the US, so whatever.

wait…is that not whats happening? i am confused.
If this is to be believed, does it make an employee a “Krispy Kreme Krew?”
Yes, but please abbreviate to save toner.
Glazed power?

Just bringing it up might get the breaks back. But fighting for better working conditions is always the right choice
Reclaim your workplace from the owners!
‘effectively immediately’. Fuckers can’t even use correct words.
When does it go into effect?
“Pretty much right now, basically?”
in Germany it is required by law that you have a 30 minute break if you work for 6 or more hours, and that is federal minimum. Turbo-capitalism ruins a society
This is similar in California. Tho to clarify, this is a 30 minute break that is unpaid.
Is that not what’s happening here? 5 or more hours you get a 30 minute break
ruins a society
Good thing we don’t have one of those.
South Australia it depends on the Award (like a default contract for a particular kind of work, it sets minimum conditions)
But at a bare minimum, if you’re working at a shift of 4 hours or more, you’re required to be given a 15 minute paid tea break.
If you’re working 5 hours or more, Add a 30 minute unpaid lunch/dinner break.(*minimum, 1 hour max if scheduled - max as otherwise it’s really just split shifts)
I feel this.
At my last job (automotive manufacturing: production) we got a total of an hour of break over the course of our 12hr shifts.
You know what really pissed off the managers? When they found out we were rotating through breaks all day long.
Hahaha. Fuckers.Did you make your numbers? Then mgmt can fuck right off
If you get your job done following safety rules etc. why should number of breaks matter? So yeah.
Management: if they hit the numbers while taking extra breaks, that means we could raise the numbers higher and not have to pay them more?
Also management: We need more temps, our turnover rate is terrible! No one wants to work anymore…
I love the circles these standard systems make. My last job would increase pay every now and then because of poor attrition rates. Then they’d increase the standard to match the increase, gaslight anybody who’d complain and then be shocked when the attrition doesn’t change and now the old workers are pissed off.
Boycott Krispy Kreme, get healthy.
The donut shops around me are so much better anyway, so even if you don’t want to get healthy, there’s probably better options.
Dedicated doughnut places are insanely expensive here, but Kroger of all places has some quite good cake doughnuts. Their yeast ones suck, though.
First eye roll was at ‘Krew’
What’s the problem with the Krispy Kreme Krew?
That’s too long. We should change it to… wait…
“you see the uniforms are needed to keep everything klean, the pointy hat makes splashes run off rather than collect on the top!”
