Sure. If you say so.
I hope he has the good sense to stay away from this quagmire of a thread; I really do not see the point of much of what has been posted here - including some of my own verbiage.
I am sure that everyone who comes out with the "He's lazy" bull-c**p feels sooooooo much better about themselves.

GotToChange - Have you read his other posts?
He wrote one recently questioning whether he should work hard on a work trial, as he didn't want them to expect him to work hard if he actually got the job.
Pretty much the definition of lazy.Attempting the grasp the first rung of the property ladder:

I usually get a 15min paid tea break in the morning to and an unofficial but recognised one in the afternoon which I usually work though but have a coffee.

No - because I cba to go looking for posts from an individual (it has happened to me and been used against me before now), even if I can in the end be called foolish. It seems to me that the only occasions where and when this happens are when people want to evidence-gather to either hurl at at someone or to speak about the poster in the third person to garner back-up.
I repeat, I find it pathetic.
Along with back-slapping (thankyouthankyouthankyou), bragging and their ugly sibling, smug complacency.
However bad the OP may look (or even be, according to most contributors to this thread), it is matched/overshadowed by the behaviour of those who long since stopped actually replying but rather lost themselves in a miasma of putdowns.
Again; ugh.0 -

You could have asked more specifically, "How many of you work "for nothing"/incredibly low pay*.......?"
The martyrs/superpeople/holier-than-thous will all post specific details of their routines at the same time as slagging off the OP.
Predictable.
Okay, how many hours do you work?
Do you sit at a desk all day or do manual labour?
Certainly not a martyr etc..... I was just curious because there were a lot jumping on the bandwagon saying you shouldn't have a break or something to eat. blah blah blah....
I kinda got bored with it all and missed the post about the 08.00 -13.00 working time. So with that in mind I do agree that expecting a lunch hour would be asking a bit too much but.... there is nothing wrong with a 15 minute break for a cuppa.0 -
Not that it matters and has little to no bearing on the OP's situation (although I mentioned an almost comparable scenario upthread);
I work three not-quite-full days per week in an office environment where breaks are allowed and no pay is deducted.
I work two evenings each week and two weekend days when I am paid on a freelance basis by the client/customer/pupil (riding instructor).0 -
I have a question because I am really curious to know.....
All the people who have posted replies on this thread, how many of you have a lunch/break and/or something to eat?
Every single day without fail:D...and every single day without fail I make sure I eat some lunch...
Frankly - if I DIDNT have my lunch/lunchbreak - then I doubt whether I would be either "use nor ornament" to my employer in the afternoon - as I'd be so preoccupied with my empty stomach growling at me and an afternoon "dip" in energy.0 -

Before you go to work, have a decent breakfast - porridge and some fruit. That's cheap enough and will sustain your blood sugar levels for the 5 hours you are working!
That's not true for everyone. I also have problems with my blood sugar if I don't eat for hours. I end up with a migraine, sweating, pale, vomiting. My dr says you should not go more than about 3 hours without at least a snack.
I have porridge and fruit and sometimes toast for breakfast but it is not enough to stop me feeling ill if I don't eat for 5 hoursThe world is over 4 billion years old and yet you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie0
