changing work hours to unpaid lunch

Pros

Only the pay for the area but really it isn't great

Cons

They changed our work ours to 7 to 530 with a unpaid lunch effective December 1. That was one of the ONLY good things about this place having a 20 minute paid lunch. Have been saying stay at your work area till the bell because of stealing company time. Now they don't care about taking 30 minutes of your day unpaid when theyve had a paid lunch for years now. They said it was to help work life balance how does being at work longer and having part of it unpaid help your work life balance. This company only cares about their profit which you wont see a cent of you work yourself the limit and the reap the rewards. If your are a awful employee but you suck up to management they will probably promote you people who are leads don't even deserve to have a job the hard workers on the line are on the line all the time you are used as a piece of machinery and are expected to hit numbers the management and corporate couldn't hit after drinking 5 monster energy drinks. It's a reason why this place cannot keep people very long if you think they will care about you think again
