The individuals in my office who take 15 minute lunch breaks, due it purely for show. Most of the older women mull around in the kitchen for an hour+.

I'm pretty sure this is the case for most workers in finance. I work for finance, while we are allowed an hour for lunch, most people just run to the Cafeteria or corner deli and eat at their desk.

Ah, those halcyon days......unfortunately, they took 'em away after a few employees with poor listening comprehension decided that two hours really meant two-and-a-half, and planned their schedules accordingly. I'm sure if we consult enough evolutionary psychologists, we can find some justification for lunch breaks from our great great great great great great grandparents and such. Really boss! Our ancestors needed lunch breaks too! Y'know, those tiny dinosaurs, tough stringy meat, really hard to digest, all that heartburn.........

It was great. I usually went to the gym or took long, leisurely lunches. Now I supposedly get an hour but few people seem to take the full time, and instead just grab something quick and eat it at their desks. It makes me so sad.

OK, not really. :) But I am eating my lunch while I type this, and unfortunately that's par for the course for me as people here love to book meetings and conference calls during normal lunch time.
