- mchannon 9y ago20% of people get comped meals by their employer, meaning they eat in the office, most if not all days. This includes Google. 35% of people eat in "subsidized" onsite or on-campus cafeterias and foodcourts. This tends to include Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple. 15% of people will go to local area eateries, grab their food to-go, then return to the site to keep their time offsite to a minimum, then eat at their desk. Personal orders to Grubhub, etc. fall in this category, and this category is growing. 15% of people will go to area eateries, dine in. These tend to be upper management, as it's easier to argue that it's a working lunch. 15% skip all meals or snack on food brought from home. If you're making $80/hr., a one-hour lunch break unpaid makes your lunch about $100, so it's a very expensive decision to take a continental-style lunch offsite. If you think as a big part of your job, your employer derives a free benefit from your time spent offsite. If you lose focus by spending time offsite, your employer derives an expensive benefit by feeding you free lunch.

- drinchev 9y agoWow, here in Berlin things go totally different. 1 hour lunch break is often encouraged by employers. Working as a freelancer I work an "extra" hour, because of my lunch break. So do the employees here.
- pawelkomarnicki 9y agoI have the same experience in Berlin, you can go do whatever you want, but lunch break is your time "outside of the 8 work hours" :-(

- sotojuan 9y agoIt depends on the company and the culture. Here I usually take 30-45 mins to eat my lunch brought from home + talk to other people eating lunch. Some go out and take a full hour. A lot of non-developers, interestingly enough, always eat food while working.
- wmichelin 9y agoI count lunch break as part of my time at work. My employer doesn't require me to punch in or punch out. People don't stay longer than 8 hours a day much though.
