[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I skip lunch or take a 60 minute lunch I leave same time. If you are not in the clock lunch is not only lunch but when I go dry cleaner, eye doctors, fill a prescription, get oil change. I try to run errands to free up weekend [/quote]

This can't happen if you work in somewhere like Suitland or other places where the gov't likes to locate its facilities. [/quote]

Yup. The mandatory 30 minute unpaid lunch is very pointless when you can't go anywhere.

Pre-covid you could find a group to eat with in the same place every day but that culture definitely went away with telework. Part of it's people not being in the office, but part of it's also people not leaving the space in the schedule we did pre-covid. When everyone was commuting we didn't schedule meetings at 8 am, 12-12:30, or 4:30 PM because there was an understanding that some people were still commuting until 9 or after 4:30, and that people needed a break to eat. That's gone now, all hours are fair game, things have sped up. [/quote]

Post COVID we all have about 13% more meetings which in an 8 hour day means lunch is what is lost.

Also people come in late, leave early so hard to align lunch. [/quote]
