How often do you take breaks at your job? My company offers two paid 15 minute breaks which is pretty nice.

I just get an hour for lunch. But if I need to mentally reset throughout the day, there's never an issue. Things are relatively slow most days, so I can just zone out and scroll for a bit if I find my attention/focus/motivation waning.

We are supposed to take two- 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch break. However, we are so short-staffed that we really can't leave the floor. I want to take breaks but I feel like I can't.

I get a one hour lunch break and another 15 min break!

And this is throughout a 12 hour shift!

I get half an hour for lunch. But I’ll still take a restroom break if I need to outside of that half hour

Hour lunches are pretty standard across the board in dentistry. Sometimes and little shorter or longer depending on the day, but I always find a couple minutes in between patients to mentally reset 😌

When I worked in NY and MA, they both had state laws that required a 1/2 hour unpaid meal break for shifts of 6 hours or more. Employer had the discretion of allowing 15-minute breaks, depending on hours scheduled. My career field always seemed to allow 2 paid 15-minute breaks per 8-hour shift. Granted most of the staff were never able to take any of the breaks because the companies were making us do more, with the same staff. Like 12 hours of work smushed into an 8-hour shift.
On the rare occasion I did leave the floor for a meal break, I was usually called back to the floor within 10-15 minutes anyway.

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
