Take Back the Lunch Break Day: When you're at work (or when you worked or were still going into the office), did you fall into the habit of eating at your desk and continuing to work while eating? Did your working conditions include a proper lunch break? If you're mostly working from home, do you still eat at your desk and continue working during your lunch?

The first 6 months of my previous job, I was a contractor and therefore required by some combination of state and federal regulations to spend an entire half an hour in the middle of the day not doing anything work-related. And I hated that. I'd rather check my favorite tech news site, catch up on Ask a Manager, and then get back to work so I can have more free time in the evening.

Gen Con starts tomorrow, and today Ask a Manager has a letter about running a gaming store.

Reading the stories being shared in the comments about terrible local gaming stores makes me grateful that my friendly local gaming store is actually friendly.

Ask a Manager is running its yearly attempt to collect real-world salary data right now. Even if you're not interested in filling in the survey, all responses are available in a public spreadsheet.

Ask A Manager has posted a new roundup of terrible office party and gifting stories. Like for instance the one that ends like this:
Eventually someone got him to stop by tackling him to the ground with his pants around his ankles and his belt still in his hand, waving it around like a lasso.

Read if you dare.
