Salary, varies from no lunch to an hour depending on what is needed and if co-workers want to go together (longer).

I go when I want and no one cares or notices when I go or come back.

That said, I hardly ever take a lunch break. I usually just eat something at my desk while working.

I'm salaried fwiw.

Whatever, whenever, as long as we're not busy. If we're busy, tough luck. Bring a snack. Hourly, FWIW.

There is something wrong if a 15 minute nap is part of your day. Unless you're attempting the Kramer sleep schedule. No wait, that's still wrong.

salaried.
officially 30 minutes but no one cares. I usually either skip it or eat at like 2:30 in the afternoon.
