My Boss Killed My Lunch Break. So I Went Nuclear.

Next time your new boss says “We all have to make sacrifices,” just start preheating the oven. He started booking meetings over my 12–1 lunch slot. Like, every day. I don’t eat breakfast. Lunch is sacred. But this man just kept. scheduling. through it. So I snapped. First it was spaghetti. Full plate, camera on, unapologetic slurping. He blinked but said nothing. Then wings. Then pizza. Then messy tacos with extra sour cream. He finally asked if I had to eat during calls. I smiled and said his favorite line: “We all have to make sacrifices.” No more lunch meetings since. But honestly? I’m not stopping. Next up: kimchi stew with rice and an egg yolk drizzle. Revenge is a dish best served hot. 🔥 #PettyQueen #WorkplaceRevenge #LunchWars #MicOnCameraOn #BoundarySetting101

Get you one of those smoked Turkey legs that looks like they came off a T-Rex back legs. Then throw it over your shoulder like Henry VIII. I had a director say “we’re having meetings at 1 pm.” So I said “are you letting me change my lunch since I go at 1 for an hour.” She paused and then said “everyone send me you lunch times.” She came back a while later and asked me to eat after the meeting, but take a full hour, and rearranged the public face desk schedule for that day. She never again scheduled a meeting over anyone’s lunch.

If you were in the office and given a luch break, is it paid or nonpaid time? If it is paid time, then you need to adjust your schedule but get in writing as to when your lunch break is. If unpaid time for lunch, go to HR for the pay for working additional hours. Make your request for payment in writing.
