      Canteen is the correct English word, though, and is more accurate than cafeteria. A Cafeteria is supposed to serve coffee, which most will anyway. But a canteen means that it is a cafeteria style but provided by the company rather than being independent.

        Interesting - I've not heard the term used like this before.
        Thanks

          They treat us like adults - it's slightly more strict for IT because we support the place but honestly I've shown up an hour late and no one cares as long as I do my time and everyone gets helped.

          Put in extra time ---> flex hours (can't "bank" them, take them within a few weeks of accrual)

            Think about things like WW2 movies or Korean War, I bet you heard it and didn't realize it. The US military uses the term for their field eateries.

                Just asked the wife - she's been watching it on Netflix, they call it the mess tent.

                    I used to be on call 24/7 and I would need to be making significantly more to ever justify it to myself

                        Wow is all I can say - and that's a federal law?

                        well... state law, we are no federation. this is something put into the labor law by labor unions, when they talk/fight/do politics with government every time labor law has to be renewed.
