    The fact that you guys only have 30 minutes to eat is insane! We have 1:30 hours by law and It’s barely enough time to go down, get something and eat. Even if you eat fast food (which we don’t like) you won’t be able to go there, buy, eat and be back in 30. You need a revolution!

      Yeah well we can’t all be French. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, but 30 minutes is standard even in Europe.

        30 is common, but I wouldn’t say standard. An hour a day feels standard.

        In office work, you usually get it all in one chunk, whereas if you work physically demanding or shift-based work, you get 15 minutes coffee break, then at lunch 30 minutes, then another 15 minutes later. This is true at least for all the western European countries.

        In my decades of work in the UK (from nightshift shelf stacker to software architect) I’ve never not had one hour.

        They’re talking like “bring food from home” is not an option. Do French people not have home kitchens and Tupperware?

          The French would never do that. They take an hour and a half for lunch and go to a restaurant that serves wine and a choice of cheeses.

      Man fuck that. If you bring something from home half an hour is perfectly fine. I can’t imagine having to just wait an otherhour around so that I can finish my 8 hours. I want spent my time at home and not on break at work.

      In Denmark, 30 minutes and catered food in a cafeteria is pretty standard. No one goes out to lunch.

      I’d rather stick with 30 minutes and get off work early, mind you.
