Do what you want
Some people have lives to get to outside of work. That’s why some may be eating their lunch at their desk.
I’d bet the ones who break for lunch are the only ones with lives outside of work.
I work through lunch so I get off an hour earlier. I’d rather work out and have dinner with my wife than sit idle for an hour talking about how much I hate my job with others that also hate their jobs.
I don’t like breaking for lunch because it means I have to be in the office that much longer. I would much rather eat at my desk and actually be out in 8 hours, so with the commute I have time to get things done when I get home other than cooking dinner.
Exactly, want to be off work early
After 30+ years in public and now private it unfortunately comes with the territory of more demands needed of you. My advice is protect your time/space. There will always be work deadlines etc. Take the lunches, PTO and time needed for yourself and family. Don’t set yourself up to looking back and regretting not attending a lunch or time home with a sick child.
Tax season is a beast (or in my day it was) and there are definitely reasons to work extra, but in the end it really won’t matter.
My now older wiser self wishes someone would have put this on replay for me. I tell my assistant to not allow me or anyone take her personal time away that she’s entitled to.

Then go ahead and interact with people
I eat lunch at my desk so I have a full hour to post whingeing stuff on FB about RTO.
Those people aren’t getting far. Lunch is a great place where you network and build relationships.
Thoughts on what? People like different things 🤷🏼♂️
Wise words C1
I eat at my desk, and take a mid day break to go to the gym or take a walk outside instead.
