Young French workers aren’t as committed to long, communal lunches as older gens. While it may have been the standard to take a 90-minute lunch with a group of coworkers and have a glass of wine 20 years ago, Gen Z and Millennials aren’t all-in on the habit. According to an Openeat poll (a digital luncheon vouchers provider), 29% of under-25-year-olds regularly eat lunch alone compared to just 12% of those over 49-years-old. And nearly half of on-site workers are spending less than 30 minutes on their lunch. Instead, the young workers might be using lunch as their only time to be alone and reset or simply don’t feel it’s necessary to spend it socializing with higher-ups. However, “integrating” into company culture through moments like this is proving to be a deal breaker for some employers. (The Times)
