Do you take a lunch break?
In many states, it’s against the law for your employer to deny you a lunch break. But lunch breaks seem to be getting rarer all the time. Tell us your situation: do you feel like it’s possible to take a lunch break any more?
For this week’s work segment, Justin Jones-Fosu of WEAA’s Listen Up! explains why so few of us are taking lunch breaks these days. And Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio, of career-advice site Vault.com, explains how not taking lunch may be hurting our careers.
