...... shame on you, Teseo, for insinuating such a thing!
Back-in-the-corporate day ....... we had 2+ hour lunches.
That was a holdover from when the corporate HQ was in NYC and it took 2 hours just to get something to eat.
So, when the corporate HQ moved to Westport, CT, that tradition carried over, although we had a cafeteria in the complex.
Why did it carry over? Because, the upper management types needed that long to go into town and have their 3 martini lunches. The top management had a private dining room equipped with a bar.
So what were the peons to do for 2-3 hours ...... ??
Some of the secretaries (yes we all had secretaries ..... that sat outside of our offices), would go across the highway and sunbathe on a beach of Long Island Sound.
Then some of the middle management boys and girls would find "other" things to do for 2-3 hours. ....... what can I say ......
.
At least WE came back to work in the afternoon, sober and not sunburnt .....
THE END
