People working through lunch..

[redcans]

No idea if this is a common thing at other companies, but at my place it seems the normal thing to do is that people just work through their lunch or take about a quarter of what they're actually entitled to.

I've never understood it, and I always make a point of taking my full lunch break as I need that time away from my desk before I go into the tasks that need completing in the afternoon.

Is this common these days?

I tend to go out and buy lunch from one of the local outlets but then eat at my desk because by the time you’ve bought the food there isn’t much time left in 30 minutes. If we could go to the gym or something I’d absolutely get away from my desk more but you can’t do much in 30mins so what’s the point. I do put myself on do not disturb though so at least I can bash through the quick and easy emails.
