    Uhhhh… In every workplace I’ve ever been in, skipping lunch breaks is going to get them chewed out by management who are legally responsible for making sure workers take breaks.

        No, really, this even happened to me personally one time. I was young, newly employed, didn’t really know how things worked, and through some inept accident missed my lunch break one day.

        When I came into work again, I was pulled aside by a perplexed supervisor who told me that I cannot under any circumstances miss lunch breaks. I don’t care if it was ethically important to them personally; what I know for sure is that they were not fucking around with legally required lunch breaks.

    We once had a new guy start who was kinda like this, but also a dick with it. On his first day he smashed into a job that some of our older guys usually did, easily managing to knock it out in 2/3 of the time usually allotted.

    I pointed out that all he really did was make the older guys look bad.

    He went and complained to the management about me.

    He didn’t last long.

        I mean, yeah, but on this occasion it wouldn’t have made a difference. The management knew what the job took to complete and weren’t riding us to kill ourselves over it. This lad wanted to prove he was The Shit, when mostly he was just a shit.
