Are mandatory, unpaid lunch breaks a scam? 1-2 hour mandatory, unpaid breaks are the norm in my country (Spain). This means even if you WFH (no commute), you will actually spend somewhere between 9 and 10 hours at work every day. Another custom here is doing a few minutes of unpaid overtime every day. If you add both things, a full time employee who works from home spends somewhere between 45 and 55 hours at work every week. Is wage theft still wage theft if it's part of a place's culture? My "hot take" is that it 100% is.
