Well coincidentally I’ll need to take a 15 minute shit around the time when my 15 minute break used to be.
the boss makes a dollar, I make a dime.
that’s why I shit on company timeIt’s not company time if it’s unpaid.
Krispy Kreme Krew… that explains a lot.
Unionize every workplace
I don’t really understand what’s being implied here. Isn’t 30 > 15?
My guess is they probably previously had 1 or 2 15-minute paid breaks, and a 30-minute unpaid lunch break. But now they only get the unpaid break.
Bingo. Lots of states have an optional set of 15 minute breaks that are in my state often referred to as smoking breaks because the Midwest is still in large part stuck in 1910.
The 15 minute breaks were paid.
Now they are only getting the mandatory 30 minute paid break for lunch (which they only have to do if you work over 5 hours in a shift).
They still get the legally mandated 15 minute breaks; they just aren’t paid for it.
You get mandatory 30 min paid breaks? For me it’s unpaid lol.
Scheduled for 5 hours, no 30 minutes necessary.
Scheduled for 5.5 hours, you get 30 minute unpaid break so you are there for longer but make the same amount of money
I’m in California, so I get paid breaks, but unpaid lunch. It still comes out to the same as the employees of the place in the meme, really. 🤷♂️
Still getting an hour of time not working; only getting paid for 30 minutes of that time.
For feedback, I would just print off the federal labor codes for my country, highlighting specific sections. I’d just hand it to the management verbatim. I wouldn’t cherry pick or leave anything out, just emphasize specific passages.
Guess what? That’s illegal here.
It would be a thinly veiled threat that I’ll ruin their lives if they don’t back track immediately… All said without uttering a single syllable.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk gutted the National Labor Relations Board and (illegally) fired people, including those that were conducting 24 active investigations into Musk’s companies. Shit like this is the result of those fascist actions. Boycott Krispy Kreme!
Boycott Krispy Kreme!
easy to do, it’s garbage anyway!
Take it anyway
Boycott Krispy Kreme, get healthy.
The donut shops around me are so much better anyway, so even if you don’t want to get healthy, there’s probably better options.
Dedicated doughnut places are insanely expensive here, but Kroger of all places has some quite good cake doughnuts. Their yeast ones suck, though.

Just bringing it up might get the breaks back. But fighting for better working conditions is always the right choice
Reclaim your workplace from the owners!
in Germany it is required by law that you have a 30 minute break if you work for 6 or more hours, and that is federal minimum. Turbo-capitalism ruins a society
The breaks worked similarly when I worked hourly shifts in the US:
- <= 6 hrs: 1x 15m paid break
- > 6 hrs: 1x 30m unpaid lunch, 2x 15m paid breaks
It was most common to be scheduled for 6 hr shifts so the company could avoid paying for the extra break.
South Australia it depends on the Award (like a default contract for a particular kind of work, it sets minimum conditions)
But at a bare minimum, if you’re working at a shift of 4 hours or more, you’re required to be given a 15 minute paid tea break.
If you’re working 5 hours or more, Add a 30 minute unpaid lunch/dinner break.(*minimum, 1 hour max if scheduled - max as otherwise it’s really just split shifts)
This is similar in California. Tho to clarify, this is a 30 minute break that is unpaid.
ruins a society
Good thing we don’t have one of those.
Is that not what’s happening here? 5 or more hours you get a 30 minute break
I assume they mean an unpaid 30 minute break but if they live on technicalities you can too
unions are important
First eye roll was at ‘Krew’
What’s the problem with the Krispy Kreme Krew?
“you see the uniforms are needed to keep everything klean, the pointy hat makes splashes run off rather than collect on the top!”
That’s too long. We should change it to… wait…
Krunk Korporate Krispy Kreme Krew
now that’s just a typical brazilian laugh on the net
‘effectively immediately’. Fuckers can’t even use correct words.
When does it go into effect?
“Pretty much right now, basically?”
Honestly, never trust a company replacing C’s with K’s, especially if it contains alliteration. They will shy away from adding the 3rd K too publicly, but they know what it means.
Krispy Kreme actually got in trouble for this once, because a UK based location went rogue and implemented a rewards program called the “Krispy Kreme Klub”.
hey hey
