This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It should be illegal to call it 9-5 when employers don't pay you for your lunch break. It's like when Subway got caught with their not that long foot longs. It's BS. They have the nerve to expect us to be honest when they can't even be honest about how they're going to shill us out of work-life balance. Capitalism is just modern slavery y'all. It's time for this charade to end.
monkey's paw:
you get paid for lunch break but in return, your hourly wage diminishes by 12%, sothat your total salary stays the same.
Speaking as an American, we'd totally fall for it, too
Ok how about you're free to eat the weak and old employees (if you take on their work load) plus during lunch breaks you get to hunt for food in surrounding offices.
That's what my gig is, but that's also cuz I'm salary and just work through the lunch hour so I can sign off early to 'go home'.
Remote work has a lot of benefits.
I'm sorry you have to work through your lunch. When the revolution kicks in, we should group up and kick your CEO down a trench.
