Nope! The only laws that really apply to those are which breaks are paid and which are not. If you are given any breaks, 20 minutes or less must be paid and count towards OT. Anything over can be off the clock.

My bf has a discord server with his friends too. Whenever one of this is online, they hop in the voice channel and just hang out. If someone else logs in, they chat, otherwise they just leave it up.
There’s no federal law in the US that requires them to give you a lunch break. My state doesn’t have one either.
Check your local laws. In many states, there is no requirement that you take a lunch. There is no federal requirement for that either.
I’ve had employers tell me that that I legally had to clock out for a certain amount of time, but that’s bullshit. It might be company policy but it’s not a law.
Also, this applies to teens working too. The laws are bad. Found this out when Subway was making my 16 yr old niece work 9-12 hour shifts with no lunch break.

That’s awesome! But, for possessive and controlling relationships, surveillance can be harmful.
Personally, my location is shared with my sister. I’d share it with my partner but he is a bit of a Luddite. I wouldn’t be sharing because he asked, I would be doing it so he could find me easily in an emergency.
And, I wouldn’t ask him to share his. If he turned it on and wanted me to have it, that’s cool. And if not, that’s cool too.
Came here to say this too
w3dd1e@lemmy.zipto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•will i be judged or will people think i'm cool if i learn to talk "oldtimey"?15·21 days agoThe real answer is that it depends on your age. Probably also race and gender. People will react differently to each.
An older adult ready for retirement? Delightful!
A kid trying to be different and impress girls! Cringey.

w3dd1e@lemmy.zipto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Force is the last refuge of the incompetent1·21 days agoI’ll try to look some up today but I think it varies by lease and by loan. You can’t apply the same rules to a warehouse as an office as a grocery store. Also, big spaces are different than small restaurants. Might not be consequences for a Chipotle but there could be for a grocery store in the same strip mall. The leases negotiated between the landlord and the tenant also have to be approved by the lender.
The whole thing is called “going dark”, meaning they are still paying rent but not operating on the premises. It causes the borrower/landlord to go into something called “cash management”. They lose the ability to collect rents directly. It all gets sent to a special lockbox that the lender has access to. They use those funds to post the payment and other things like that. They send a portion back to the borrow for operating expenses then hold onto the rest. The borrower also has to pay cash management and bank account fees when this happens.
I remember there was a big fight at a shopping center near me because a grocery store wanted to move the grocery location and open a giant liquor store in its place but the landlord didn’t like that. I believe they ended up terminating the lease and a different grocery store moved in. My company didn’t handle that loan so I don’t know the details but I knew that the loan was likely the real reason for the fight.

I know people talk about pattern recognition and what not but that’s not all that different than human knowledge. I learn words by hearing them repeated too
I know how to read his body language and the tone of his barks to know what he wants. He will even show me, if I ask him.
I suspect he understands a lot more than I am capable of deciphering as well.
w3dd1e@lemmy.zipto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Force is the last refuge of the incompetent4·22 days agoTheir mortgages have clauses that cost them when tenants are not operating onsite. It devalues restaurants and stores in the area. I’m not saying it’s right. It’s just how it works. Tenants have to do business on site during the lease or they pay fees and their landlords have to pay the banks.

I think the problem is that for a long time Tesla, and specifically Elon, went around telling everyone how great their autopilot was. Turns out that was all exaggeration and sometimes flat out lying.
They showed videos of the car driving on its own. Later, we found out it was actually being controlled remotely.
Yeah, the driver wasn’t operating the vehicle safely but, Tesla told him that he didn’t have to.
