[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1180506, member: 14668"] I'm not a burner and there is no way in hell that I will work for free. I will say that during the last week or two of peak [I]when I'm going to be working 59.99 hours anyway[/I], my normal routine is to combine my two breaks into a short meal period and enter "lunch 12:00-12:00" in the DIAD. It boils down to a choice of whether I would rather get home at 9:30 at night or 10:00 at night. I would prefer to get home half an hour earlier so that I can eat dinner and get enough sleep to deal with the 12 hour day I will be working tomorrow. I'm [I]not [/I]working off of the clock and I'm [I]not[/I] being dishonest or falsifying my timecard. Some may disagree with this approach and thats fine but its what I have done for the last week or two of peak for the last 25 years. Sometimes management complains about it, but I ignore them. One year, I even got a warning letter...but they conveniently waited until Christmas Eve to issue it which meant that there was no further need for me to skip my lunch anyway. 9 months later in September the letter went away, leaving me free to repeat my actions the following peak.
