Ham Co-worker Needs To Eat! This is a story from my workplace that I just had to share with FPH. I work in the hospitality industry.  The venue I work for has recently been bought out by a new owner, and part of that purchase involved retaining all the original staff (with a 3-month probationary period).  Well, about a week or so ago, we all received the paperwork we needed to fill out to change over from our old employer to the new one.  One of the things in the pack we received was a Staff Manual. Let me preface by saying that this fat bitch has always gotten away with a lot.  She needs to have a multitude of snacks stashed at the bar to gorge on rather than actually doing her job, which she is (unsurprisingly) terrible at.  Well, upon reading the new Staff Manual, Big Bertha discovered that she will no longer be able to have her snacks! She immediately informed the rest of us that they (her new bosses) can't tell her she can't eat, and if she doesn't have something to eat she starts to feel faint.  Now, the longest that a person can work here without a 30 minute break is 5 hours.  She's saying she can't go 5 hours without eating, and she demanded - demanded! - to one of the Duty Managers that if she is not allowed to keep food in the bar area, that she must be given extra breaks to eat.
