For me, having a team lunch is not a “break”. I get back to the office feeling like I haven’t stopped working. Went straight back outside for a 15 min walk to reset.
That's like the good old "lunch meeting"
No, that's just a meeting you've scheduled at an inconsiderate time. I'm still going to have my lunch break
I remember someone tried to do that to me but I left early and didn’t do the lunch meeting.
I think it’s so unfair to do a department meeting I’m at lunchtime in a scheduled day where there’s no other times for your own break.
I know we don’t often get together as a whole department but I’m not willing to sacrifice that time to do that.
