If you don't get a 30 min break, you only have your self to blame.It is your right so make sure you take it.
If you don`t get time to finish then cut off. It`s because of people like you we are in this mess.

Chill in the canteen for the full 40 minutes (8:30-9:10) with the same 10 or so out of 150! who ain't invertebrates.
We have quite a chuckle most mornings,usually over the latest management f**kup in the office. Its a bit deja vu though cos someone nearly always says 'it cant get any worse' ,then blow me the next morning it nearly always is. :funneh
Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Your manager appears to have you exactly where he wants you,doesn't he.
Ever thought he might be full of s**t.
Rolling contract or not you are selling yourself way too cheaply.
Sometimes dignity comes at a price...but sometimes it's worth it.
Good luck...either way you'll need it. :neutral:

I have a bar lunch then go to the local strip club and watch ladies taking their clothes off

is this what you wanted from this thread Ms Bitch? ( your name not mine)

no I have my break in the canteen which is increasingly busy as peeps are starting to catch on slowly

take your breaks folks all of it before you leave the office

20 mins at the end aint worth it

I'm on a three-month contract, I still cut-off. You get all the crap from them but I'd rather retain my masculine pride and do justice to my ego than become a lap dog of the management. Obviously, I appreciate that some people cannot choose between their principles and their livelihood, but learning to stand up against injustice, no matter what it may cost you, is not the worst character trait to develop whilst you have the opportunity. When I started the job I was far more timid than I am now; I actually go into work some days and HOPE for confrontation. It gets the adrenaline pumping.
