Grind away

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - Italy - Genova

Today, I got stuck in the elevator at work. When I was finally let out, my boss decided I shouldn't get a lunch break, because I'd already had over an hour off work while in the elevator. I had to starve through 5 more hours of work. FML

YDI for not standing up for your legal rights. Take that to the labor board, or at the least to human resources.

That's why I pack a lunch... Next time take the stairs

"Yeah let me walk up these 40 flights of stairs" see how stupid that sounds?

He's just an asshole,pretty sure he wouldnt like not havinv a lunch break. Sorry OP.

Contact HR. Not your fault and you should NOT have been punished for it. I hope you didnt pass out or anything. I know I would have.

THAT. IS. ILLEGAL!! report him to hr, then SUE THE COMPANY for exactly 1/2 of its total worth

I can just imagine how that would sound. "I want to file a lawsuit against this man because he wouldn't let me eat a sandwich."

That's when you remember, you're a grown ass man. You know when you are hungry. So when its time for lunch tell him where you are going. Don't be bratty or snotty about it. Just go. People, even your boss can only treat you as good or bad as you allow.

If you normally get lunch breaks, and your boss denied you one when you got stuck in the elevator, he has broken labor laws and you should report his ass asafp.

This is late op but he can't tell you you aren't allowed to eat. He can actually loose his job if he punished you for going on your actual lunch.
