There is almost nothing that is so urgent that a lunch break can't be taken. The likelihood of an emergency happening is small, and in the event that there is, they should have your phone number. Disengage!
Walk away girl. Just walk away. Nothing is that important.
Yes….but after being laid off 3 times, I am no longer that girl! Bottom line….If my position is sooooooo important that I can’t step away for lunch, then I should be making more money and have a higher title! Also, if the work is that urgent, how did it get to that point….did it sit on some other desk for days/weeks and the person took no action and now that it is on fire you want me to drop everything and take on the problem….thank you but I’ll pass….yiu can hold the person who created the bottleneck accountable!
If you just want to grab a quick bite and eat at your desk and that is YOUR decision….great…..if it is because your “team” expects it that is a different isssue IMO.
Of push comes to shove, they will (most likely) let you go without blinking an eye, so don’t feel as if you owe them more than what they pay for - 8 hours a day with a lunch and 1-2 breaks!
