Where I live its minimum 45min paid lunchtime.

But usually it's 1h-1h30-2h. Which can be sort of exhausting in the other way. Don't get me wrong, it's super, but 2h? You're like supposed to catch that up and stay later. Legally or not, that's how the system is here in France.

That's why work from home (or 1 day in the office to meet up for a long lunch which actually makes sense) is soo good, I can skip lunch if I'm not into the mood, or eat whenever I want.
