An insane action with a predictable outcome.

I know, I know… "Why the heck is there a referee on the thumbnail? What's that got to do with anything?" For some reason, the idea of having your lunch confiscated by your boss just evoked the image of an umpire calling someone out on strikes.

I, uh, couldn't find a usable image of an umpire, so I went for a referee instead. So now I would answer that same question as, "For some reason, the idea of having your lunch confiscated by your boss just evoked the image of a referee drawing a red card."

But I digress… This post was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by disgruntled worker u/TyroneStitches_ (OP). The thread was posted with the title "I just quit my job because I lost my right to lunch break." In the thread, the OP tells the story of exactly that happening. Read on below for the full story.
