[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is 30 min. Strictly enforced. We have to work 8.5 even though we rarely take a lunch. Hate it! [/quote].

Please, where do you work that people rarely take a lunch break?  Peolple at my agency rarely take less than an hour.  I may eat at my desk, but that's only because I just came back from an hour+ at the gym.

On very rare occasions, it gets busy enough that I don't take much of a break, but that is quite uncommon.

Feds are often unfairly maligned, but they also seem to have quite a persecution complex and have an unrealistic sense of how hard they are working.[/quote]

No one in my office goes and sits in the cafeteria, and are usually eating at their desks, working. We're on a compound not near anything else, so,people also don't run out to do errands. It may be because we have a lot of parents in our office who need to get out at the end of the day, so we just want to get our work done. When I was younger, I'd come in at 7:30 and leave at 6, so I was more likely to go meet someone at the cafeteria for coffee. Now I get to work right after drop off and leave in time to pick up by the end of extended day.[/quote]

You used to work 7:30am - 6pm at a federal job? [/quote]
