At my work, you can always tell who works on the manufacturing floor and who has a desk job by how efficient they are in the cafeteria. The suits (desk people) take their time, stand in the middle of walk ways, have small talk when they should be moving on, etc. The operations folk get what they need and skedaddle because we are trained to be efficient or make things efficient.

Move Karen! I know you have a long day of sitting on your butt, so why dont you move so I can have lunch? /jk mostly

i feel this so hard. they are entirely unaware that they are occupying the thoroughfare and i cannot imagine how one can be so oblivious.

Isn't that just everybody? Well everybody except the 3 of us here?

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, why can't people be more like us?!

As a salaried desk employee, yes. I have no need to rush unless I have a meeting to get back to, sometimes I have no tasks remaining after lunch so I could easily take a second hour. For me it's not about being efficient at lunch, it's about clearing my mind so I can remain productive (if needed).
