Are you encouraged to take regular lunch breaks or do you end up feeling pressured to work through lunch?

Pressured to work through lunch

I work through lunch regularly.

Encouraged to take regular lunch breaks

They always say lunch is important and u need a break, but at the same time expect work to continue as normal while on break.

I opt to work through lunch and leave early instead.

I have a wonderful office and freedom to lunch. I choose not to do it most of the time as I practice intermittent fasting

I do not like having the big spanish lunchs, so I rather have a small sandwich while I do something not related to work

If I get my milestones and objectives completed on time and under budget, and I am communicating successfully and effectively with my subordinates, peers, stakeholders and leadership, I will take as long a lunch break as I like.

Meetings are scheduled during lunch hour, so no one encourages lunch breaks.

I am encouraged to take lunch but its awkward going off by myself when others continue to work. It's a small business so your absence is noticed. Maybe its better in a larger company but I hate clocking out for lunch and walking by others who decide to take lunch at a different time.

Much breaks are encouraged unless there is a looming deadline that day. In the latter lunch is provided and delivered.

I dont feel pressured to do so, but I often do. Then other times, i'll have a 3 hour lunch - all swings and roundabouts.

Encouraged - I like to eat lunch with piers- find it helps build or strengthen relationship

Certain times of the year, definitely pressured to work through breaks and lunch. When the work loads are not as high, the pressure does not exist.

Encouraged-my team eats together at the same hour every day.

We’re often pressured to work through lunch even though our company still struggles

Only pressured if your not enjoying what you do. If you love what you do working through lunch wouldn’t even faze you.

Yes. Work thru or leave early instead of taking a lunch.

I choose to work through lunch, but I'm not pressured to do so.

Rarely eat lunch, let alone get away from the office for an hour. Maybe once or twice a week.

It is led by example that lunch, or meals, are not important, not needed, they are viewed as a priviledge.

Encouraged to take lunch breaks. Rarely ever feeling like I have to work through lunch if I don't want to.

Depends on the project. I’m in a managerial position so I make my own hours for the most part. I do, however, sometimes feel this pressure more clearly from our client (we’ll get ambushed by emergency deadlines) rather than my employers.

45 minutes for lunch, no work during, every day- I've never felt like I needed to work through lunch.

This depends on how the day is flowing. If we are pretty busy, I feel pressured to work through lunch, but if our day is slightly slower, I will take a regular lunch.

There is no encouragement of any kind - other than to work as hard as possible so that the execs can make their bonuses.

I'm encouraged to take regular lunch breaks.

Breaks and lunch are a given and I do not feel pressured to work thru lunch

Pressured to work through lunch. Especially since we have lost three dishwashers in 2 years.

I don't feel pressured to work through lunch.

I should be taking lunch breaks, but workload has been so bad, that I’ve worked through lunch.

If I work through lunch, then it's only because I asked to leave early other business reasons, or medical reasons.

Pressured to work through lunch.

There are times when I eat later or earlier depending on the day but I usually can have a few minutes to do other things while I eat.

never feel pressured at all, I never take more than 15 mins to eat

I can take regular lunch breaks. I choose to work through many of them however.
