at my old job we used to have flexible lunch breaks at work. Could go anytime between 11:30-2:00, just made sure someone was covering. Worked fine.

New manager comes in, says “Everyone MUST take lunch at exactly 12:00. No exceptions.” Okay then.

12:00 hits. We all just… walk away. Phones ringing, customers mid-sentence—not our problem. Boss looked panicked, trying to handle it all.

By the time we got back, it was a complete mess. Next day? New rule: “Lunch between 11:30-2:00 is fine.”

Oh, so back to normal? Cool, boss.
