I wouldn't be able to concentrate for the remainder of the afternoon if I worked through lunch. We don't really have the option to anyway, unless there are special circumstances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2167060 Tue, 05 May 2015 01:34:33 +0000 lamariniere 2167060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, since I WAH, I make my own rules. Normally I break for lunch and take 30 minutes. If I'm really busy, I eat at my desk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166941 Mon, 04 May 2015 20:33:57 +0000 mamabolt 2166941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go to the gym we have on site and then eat at my desk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166892 Mon, 04 May 2015 19:42:04 +0000 ValentineMommy 2166892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my job, we can actually get in trouble for working through lunch. I usually eat who my coworker friends or spend it on hb :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166849 Mon, 04 May 2015 18:49:30 +0000 mrsjyw 2166849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost always work through lunch, kinda got in the habit when I was pumpin for ds1. Now I'm just too lazy to leave the office and don't want to socialize in our work cafe! </p> <p>I have flexible in:out times too though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166829 Mon, 04 May 2015 18:27:20 +0000 Adira 2166829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always work through lunch. I have to in order to be able to leave on time to pick up the kids from daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166827 Mon, 04 May 2015 18:25:14 +0000 matador84 2166827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always work through lunch. I don't really know what I would do if I were working through lunch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166822 Mon, 04 May 2015 18:21:14 +0000 Anagram 2166822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work through lunch almost every single day. NO way in hell am I staying after school to grade papers/plan, so I do it all during my lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166805 Mon, 04 May 2015 17:53:43 +0000 mrsjazz 2166805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to take it as often as possible, especially now that it's nice out. I ate lunch at my desk almost every day at my last job and got really burnt out. It's nice to take a breather. And the beauty of my job is that I work for the city now so it's kind of expected to take lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166761 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:55:19 +0000 Anya 2166761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rarely- I don't get paid enough to work through lunch :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166755 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:48:30 +0000 DillonLion 2166755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Half and half. Sometimes I take a full hour to recharge but if things are busy I'll keep working and stop for a few mins to eat. My hours are pretty set, though. I don't get to leave any earlier if I skip lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166636 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:02:28 +0000 cascademom 2166636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sometimes just take my lunch later if I get calls or questions around noon-noon thirty. My boss is very set on his 11:30am lunch. My husband and I sometimes forget about lunch when working. Just how we are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166627 Mon, 04 May 2015 14:56:49 +0000 CakeLady 2166627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work through lunch 95% of the time. Many days I have meetings scheduled at noon, and it is much more important for me to leave on time, than to get a break during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166614 Mon, 04 May 2015 14:49:31 +0000 lovehoneybee 2166614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be reprimanded if I worked through lunch, and on the rare occasions that I *have* to (stuck helping a client, for example), I'm still expected to take a full hour (so I come back late). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166611 Mon, 04 May 2015 14:47:36 +0000 blackbird 2166611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We technically aren't allowed to. But sometimes i skate out early </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166584 Mon, 04 May 2015 14:36:42 +0000 snowjewelz 2166584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my job now I have an hour no matter what.. So I learn to just take it usually to run errands or just to get out. Even tho now I use half of that time to pump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166583 Mon, 04 May 2015 14:36:21 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2166583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all work through lunch. It's kind of expected, but beyond that, if I didn't-- I'd never get home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166569 Mon, 04 May 2015 14:32:24 +0000 Corduroy 2166569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually I work through lunch but since I've been pregnant with LO2 I've needed to take my lunch break to refocus and get some fresh air (and eat). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-through-lunch#post-2166545 Mon, 04 May 2015 14:15:56 +0000 mrbee 2166545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ever since I had kids, I've pretty much always worked through lunch. I feel like I have to be working every hour that I'm officially at work, since I spend so much time with the kids. But now that I think about it, it probably hurts my productivity overall to not take a break!</p> <p>What's your lunch policy - do you work through it, or spend some time actually enjoying lunch and getting refreshed? </p>
