Do you stop work for lunch?

If "down" calls are up I try to take them with a roll thru lunch. Many customers appreciate service during the lunch hours when the equipment is more idle. I like having time in the bank for early departure to help beat the traffic home. If down calls are still up I lose the time and it resets the next day.

Normally eat 1 handed whilst driving somewhere.

Or no handed if its a big pizza

I dont get paid for my lunch and I always take an hour. My company insists we take it though. I think more of a law thing than anything else.

1 hour lunch is manatory. State regs and helps keep me somewhat sane. If I could skip on somedays to leave early or the like, sure I would. But the boss says take lunch or he gets in trouble with the state when the audit.

Sometimes I find it difficult to stop lunch for work.

Funny you ask, just had to leave my job because they expected me to work through an unpaid lunch hour and stay an hour late with no compensation at an account that was an hour and a half away from my house and my wife works nights so I have to be home to watch the kids. It worked out though, I can collect unemployment because they won't dare tell that story to the unemployment people.

At Xerox lunch was always mandatory and a grand event with all area Techs gathering together sharing ideas for an hour and a half or more, those were the days, however at Canon it was the complete opposite, 45 minutes for lunch but you can`t afford to take it because there was a mandatory 4 calls a day, now I am told it is 5.

We are allowed an unpaid hour for lunch but have been discouraged from taking it to "keep our numbers up".

what time do you finish work though?
