After everyone has had their caffeine hit, the canteen is quiet as a grave in the mornings.
Everyone’s at their desk, everyone’s being productive.
But after lunch, it’s like the canteen is the rolling subs box.
You can guarantee at least one person in there at all times.
It’s like the entire office is implicitly working together to maintain a human presence in the canteen.
What’s happening you ask?
Everyone’s flagging but contractually they’re obliged to stay in the office, so they get up and walk around to try and stave off boredom and burn minutes til quitting time.
Evidence for a four hour working day?
