I usually have my lunch break together with my boss, we have some good conversations while eating and then we both return to work when we need to (because i don't work at a toxic workplace).

LPT: don’t work in a job where you’re boss sits around laying strict attention to what people do minute by minute.

LPT: if you worry about these situations, change job

Another 15mins are required (so in total 45mim) if you work more than 8 hours in the day. Personally I don't like that law because it's a mandatory, yet unpaid break. I can see the idea behind it for physically hard working jobs but in my job I can just eat and chill while working because the work is chill, too.

Bad advice. Maybe those who are financially irresponsible should avoid them, but there is no excuse not to use them in today's day and age.

Just be responsible and pay off your balance each and every month. You will need a credit score for all major purchases in your life, and there is no quicker way to build one.

You should not treat credit cards as a source of free money. They are a form of debt, which is neither good nor bad - it's a tool.

I was here thinking 'to feign productivity' or some shite, but no, it's to do nothing

Why bother when you can just turn head and hop lol

Most times I go after my boss, and everyone else for that matter

In Germany you are required by law to take a 30min break after working for 6 hours. Most people take a lunch break 12-1pm and it’s well respected where people don’t put meeting in or anything. It’s unpaid though

Yup, that easy.

I interpreted the LPT as the boss not being on your case for half an hour while you can get to work.

>steal 30 minutes of “lunch time”?

In what way is taking a standard 1 hour lunch break early considered stealing?

This is not a standard thing between vets.

This is NOT a pro tip.

alright, and then the rail workers still don't get back to work. now what?

I can't say you're wrong because soda fountains are line chilled, so it is cold coming out, but it almost immediately warms up due to room temperature. If you chug it right away, you'll get a good sweet treat with a caffeine boost. This isn't an LPT, though. You ask for extra lemons and Splenda with your ice water, too, probably.

I did that with a cat once, was not a particularly good outcome

What do you mean "relax whilst boss finishes off their break"?

What does your boss do? Stand behind you with a whip as you do your work?

Yes, in most countries (where workers rights are actually respected, as opposed to America), an employer is required by law to give you a lunch break.

Off the top of my head, gay marriage was largely protest signs and marches.

To me a drink with no ice does not taste right but a drink full of ice is worse, I usually ask for 3 or 4 ice cubes or less than a 1/4 full of ice if it is crushed, because it is needed to break the carbonation, i.e. the fizz. My nephew did the no ice for your reason, but I get that small tap of ice even at self serve soda dispensers.

Why are you telling people to steal 30 minutes of “lunch time”? That’s not a LPT and could get people fired.

It’s also a display of shitty behavior.

OP is saying take your 1 hour lunch 30 minutes before your boss starts their lunch. That way you can steal an extra 30 minutes of “lunch” because your boss isn’t back for another 30 minutes after your lunch ends, so they won’t notice you not working.

As with 99% other LPT, this isn’t actually a LPT. OP is just being a shitty employee.

Terrible tip. I don’t know if there’s anyone on the planet that would benefit from having more soda in their diet.

If you order an iced coffee from McDonald’s, order it light ice. Get more coffee
