    If I eat a big breakfast and work through lunch, I feel justified in leaving early. Also around my office the standard noon lunchtime does not exist, some people choose to come in early and eat lunch at 1030 or 11, and others are eating lunch closer to 2.

      I just have lunch and leave early anyway.

      I don’t give a shit if lunch is supposed to be on “my time,” companies should be paying for every minute you’re there. Lunches should be part of the 8 hour workday because dedicating 9 hours just to be paid for 8 is bullshit.

        I’m salaried and don’t really have a set hours expectation, and I’m working in a public service field, so I’m showing up to help people and support my team rather than generate revenue for shareholders. If I were paid hourly by a for-profit company, yeah I’d be less invested.
