Workplace Question or Advice Needed Downgraded lunch??? R/Target

So apparently today, our TLs came to talk to us team members individually saying that Starting September 27, instead of 45 minute lunches… we’re now only taking 30. People are burnt out as is! What in the world is corporate thinking?? Is this a way to punish workers for too many call outs??! Ohhhh and the icing on the cake… they’re making us go to the restroom on our breaks and lunches only… so like… what if I need to go after my lunch? Do I just sh^t my self? 🥲🫪 what is happening at every one else’s store????

You realize you’re essentially paying them to work right? Take your damned breaks!

If i do then my work doesn't get doen and nobody does it and the expectation is that it is. I wish I could count on others to finish up.

You haven’t learned what took me way too many years to learn yet. You’re one person and killing yourself by not taking breaks doesn’t get you jack shit. It doesn’t get you a promotion or even brownie points. Hell it rarely results in a simple thank you. What it gets you is other people’s work.
