Where I currently work, there's a culture of insisting you don't need a break. Of course, I see people's faces at the end of the day and think, "you need a break". I'm going insane.

I've once worked an entire year with no breaks whatsoever during the 8 h shift. High speed, intense, no-errors-policy. After a year, it had taken a huge toll on my health.

I've actually mentioned to one of the higher-ups that I want to reach 40 with my back intact!

In my country, when the state finds this out, even if YOU want and enjoy doing work for more than 6h without a 30min break, your employer will get a fine because of you.

Yes, same here. I suppose it's to stop any plausible deniability.

SWIM wants to know which country this is?

But I don't want to be at work another unpaid half hour. Can't I just die instead?

Yes. You can'tn't.
