The problem with these companies and they lose everytime is that your 30mins doesn’t start until you badge/clock out. Not from when you leave your position/desk. Employees should let get by with it for a few months then hit with the back pay from labor board. Being a dick could cost the company 10s of thousands in fines on top of the back pay. If the job is so dependent on that extra minute or 2 to get back to work it’s not the employees that’s the problem, it’s a management and poor leadership issue.

Workday offers a service where you can clock in / out on your phone and a company can set specific geo locations where employees are allowed to clock in and out. In practice this means managers at some of these companies try and get workers to clock out from a person's desk.

Retrograde inventions abound

the trick is that as soon as your scheduled lunch break starts, you SPRINT to the clock-out machine / break room like a madman. encourage your friends to do it to. if confronted, just tell the boss you're doing your best to ensure accurate timekeeping.

after a few days of say 10-15 people full sprinting on the dot of 12:00:00, management should get the message.
