Quick WFH reminder: take an actual lunch break if you haven’t already

step away from your desk and eat a meal. not a snack. and maybe take a quick walk around the block. Anyone else struggle to do this daily? Sometimes I feel like I work without stepping away from my desk and it’s been 5 hours

I honestly feel like it’s expected to work through lunch bc I always get lunch meetings

Same… especially when you have 3 different time zones to account for. We all just try take a break in between meetings if we can. Most of the time it’s just not possible lol

Create a block on your calendar for this if possible

I do this but it gets scheduled over constantly due to different time zones

I actually tried to do this and let my team know I was stepping away for food and my boss made a joke.

Am I the only one that thinks making a joke about not taking lunch feels like a low key way of trying to set an expectation? even though you can’t say that legally I imagine…

So dumb. Hate that for you, I’m sorry
