    Most places I’ve worked at have allowed a 10-minute paid break, so I just pack something that I can eat quickly

    I’m also fine with just not eating for 8 hours. Even on non-work days I tend to have a pretty light lunch

      I’m the same way. Sometimes I’ll even skip breakfast and lunch and I’ll only have problems if I go more than 12 hours or so.

      That said, I’m paid salary and we don’t track hours, so I only work through lunch if I’m behind on something. I can usually get my work done in 30-35 hours/week, so most days are pretty chill and I’ll take breaks with my coworkers.

        In that position, I’d definitely take lunch

        Unfortunately where I am employers usually only make people salaried if they’re planning on requiring more than 40 hours a week from them
