How long is your lunch break?

30 minutes here. Kinda sucks 'cause nothing is really close by, so if you don't bring something, you'll spend 10-15 driving time, only giving you 15 or so for ordering/eating/belching.

edit: I'm hourly, so seeing this business of "as long as I want" has me thinking you guys are salaried.

 
Basically as long as I want, no one is watching me and they would not know if I'm doing a job or at lunch. Supposed to be one hour though.
 
About 1 1/2 hrs

8 minute walk home
Take the dogs for a 30 minute walk
20 minutes to make/eat lunch
15 minute nap
8 minute walk to work
 
usually eat at my desk while working
can pretty much take off as much time as i want, but would just have to make it up later on so i dont bother

that sounds like a great lunchbreak.

I can take as long as I want but I usually eat at my desk and keep working.

 
As long as I want it to be, but usually ranges between 30minutes and 1 hour. Sometimes it goes longer, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
 
As long as I want, really. In practice however, it can vary from grabbing fast-food at a drive-thru and eating in the car as I drive, or an all-day "lunch break." 🙂

On average, about an hour.

EDIT: Technically I'm paid hourly, but I'm guaranteed 8 hours minimum per day, even if there isn't any work to do.

I do not subtract an hour for lunch from the hours I report on my timecard, either.
 
Salaried, as long as I want (unless I have to attend a meeting, be on a conf call, etc.)

I also have to work as long as I need to in order to get shit done before a deadline.

Salary is a double-edged sword.
 
Hourly... and whatever I feel like. So long as people know when to expect me back and >1 hr lunches aren't a daily occurrence.

The one big benefit of my company is that they are pretty laid back about scheduling. If you have a doctor's appointment or something you just let someone know that you're going and you go. You don't really need to get approval and you don't get hassled for it.

For about 5 months now I've been coming in at 8, skipping lunch and leaving at 4. I get my 8 hours in for the day, I'm home before traffic hits, and I always feel like I have soooo much more free time in the evening because of it. Nobody has really cared and it's only been an issue once, where someone else waited until the last minute to turn a project over to me that needed done before EOD... they called me about 10 minutes after I left and I had to turn around and go back. I wasn't too happy about it because I ended up being stuck until 7 when this person could have given me the work earlier in the day and nobody would have had to work overtime. I haven't tested the waters with coming in at 7 or 7:30 and leaving at 3 or 3:30, but a lot of our deadlines are at 4, so I can imagine screwing myself over a lot.
