I’m lucky if I get a 10-minute break during an 8-hour shift lately. How do you keep your energy up when the day just doesn’t stop?

I work 12+ hr shifts and sometimes I don’t even get to sit down for a few minutes. I wouldn’t recommend it. Push to take an actual break, even if you’re salary. Stay hydrated, eat something even if it’s small, stay positive…

It doesn't matter how big the company is, if there are employment laws that state you are LEGALLY entitled to a break - any company can end up in front of a tribunal.

The law states it, so it legally has to be adhered to.

I'm way too reliant on coffee and energy drinks. I work two jobs and haven't gotten more than 6 hours of sleep in like 10 years. I have no idea how I would function if it wasn't for caffeine.

Pretty sure there are laws that prohibit them from keeping you from a break.

I would clock out and take that 30 minute or hour break because you deserve it. The company do not care about you.

I am sorry to hear that. I have definitely been there and especially this time of year. I am not going to lie, I rely heavily on coffee and energy drinks haha.

Is it mandatory or just that crazy busy

That sounds rough! I usually grab quick stretches or a snack whenever I can—small breaks really add up.

Better make time and advocate for those breaks. You need time to reset

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
