In that position, I'd definitely take lunch

Unfortunately where I am employers usually only make people salaried if they're planning on requiring more than 40 hours a week from them

That's often true in my area, and there are weeks when I put in >40 hours. But since we're able to provide our own estimates and upper management is generally happy with our delivery (our dept tends to over-deliver on our yearly goals), we can generally keep things manageable.

But yeah, I do take lunch 99% of the time when I'm in the office, but more like 40% of the time when I WFH. Nobody seems to care when people leave early as long as the work gets done.

I think my company is a bit unique here, and it's why I stay. I could probably get a bit better pay elsewhere, but the work life balance makes up for it.
