I’ve noticed in my office that some teams break for lunch, while others eat at their desk. I understand working through lunch on a tight deadline, but also wouldn’t mind some normal human interaction during the day. Thoughts?

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.

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.

Those people aren’t getting far. Lunch is a great place where you network and build relationships.
