Am I allowed to send myself on breaks or do I need someone to tell me to go on breaks? (Usa)
Let me explain the title....
Back when I first started, there was this lady, P ( no it's not my cousin, it's just her name starts with P). P would be the one that would send me on breaks and make sure that someone did cover my shift while I was on break. But that did change when she quit McD's. Then another lady would send me on breaks but no one would cover for me while I was on break, so that put me behind but that didn't last long.
As much as I would like to take my breaks. I'm afraid I can't because I already know that no one will take over for me and the last time I did have a break I think it was almost 2 months ago. I don't remember what date it was but I know it was a Sunday.
Honestly I feel like at this rate I'll get burned out. Because I'm just working through my whole shift without a break. I'm not good with confrontation, so would it be better if I wrote a letter to my GM about this or should I go to my supervisor when they visit? If I do write a letter, what should I say to address the matter?
