Small-Scale Question Sunday for October 29, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

While that absolutely happens I think there might be something else going on here as well.

In my experience, it's fairly easy to get away with taking an early lunch but a lot of important meetings happen at 13, because people are assumed to both be in the office and just have eaten and taken a break. This leads to office people gravitating towards either taking lunch at 12 or earlier, not later.

At the same time blue collar workers usually have lunch well before 12 because they start early.

This combined leads to what you're seeing.
