I worked with someone who would bring a salad everyday to our meetings and cut it up and crunch the entire time, even when people were talking.
Their reasoning? They had to eat and didn’t take lunch because they had soooo many meetings.
Did they do any actual work, oh hell no. They just blew wind out their ass to the right people and crunched on salads all day to appear busy well everyone else did the work and took normal lunches like normal people should.
If I take lunch at a meeting, it’s because the company is paying. If I take lunch at my desk, it’s because there’s an important (not work related) event streaming that I don’t want to miss.
My lunch time is sacred, there’s no way I’m trading that for a meeting.
