<\/p>\n

A Lot More Women Eat Lunch at Their Desks<\/B>

\n28% more women than men report regularly eating lunch at their desks. They also report taking less lengthy lunch breaks of an hour or more. Across the board, it looks like women in Tech are more often working through lunch and taking shorter breaks.

Designers\/Engineers are Taking Much Longer Breaks Than Their Product Counterparts<\/B>

\nOutside of Founder\/CEOs with the longest lunch breaks, employees working in Design and Engineering regularly take the longest lunch breaks at Tech companies. Compare this with their counterparts working in Product who take the least amount of time for lunch out of any department. Looks like it pays in more ways than one to have those technical skills.

Seems like there may be something to the more laid back Southern culture; Atlanta and Austin top the cities that take the longest lunch breaks in Tech. While it\u2019s not just political interns working around the clock, Washington D.C. employees have the shortest lunch breaks of all.<\/p>\n
