New Survey Reveals Most Workers Take Short Lunch Breaks
If you’re eating a sandwich at your desk right now with one hand grasping the food while the other one’s navigating a mouse, you’re not alone.
That’s because a new survey released by OfficeTeam reveals almost half of workers indicated their lunch break lasts less than 30 minutes. More than 42 percent revealed they spend their lunchtime socializing with colleagues and 29 percent admitted they work right through their lunch break. Others mentioned the surf social media during this time, catch up on personal calls, run errands or exercise/take a walk.
For the survey workers were asked, “What is the average length of your typical lunch break?” Almost 10 percent revealed it’s less than 10 minutes and on the other end of the spectrum, 38 percent revealed it’s 60 minutes or more.
The numbers are certainly disconcerting but we have to admit, aren’t exactly shocked.
