I think something that is missing in the minds of the "but you could just..." posters here is that the mindset of the OP doesn't always come from laziness, immaturity, or the inability to understand how to pack a sandwich, it sometimes comes from crippling or barely functional depression.

I work from home and the thought of even making a sandwich most days in the middle of the day is just too much. I don't want to make a sandwich; I want to go back to bed for eight to ten years and I agree that lunch is the fucking worst.

(But so is breakfast, and dinner, and all of the meetings, and work, and life generally speaking, etc.)

This is precisely why always working from home is unhealthy and the context switch would be worth the psychological boost it provides if not for the commute. I know people really liked the liberation of WFH at first but I just don't think it is going to be sustainable. It has nothing to do with productivity, but it's the next simmering mental health crisis.

I like how the "why don't you just" people have now moved on to armchair psychology.

it sometimes comes from crippling or barely functional depression.

For sure but here on Lemmy it seems to be the case in like 80% of posts. If that many people were actually depressed across the whole population, civilization would long have collapsed.

So you're saying a niche platform with a lot of tech guys who are actively facing layoffs daily nowadays isn't representative of society overall? I'm super surprised.

But relatedly depression levels have risen across society over the years, it's gonna impact the posting.

Then you are just burnout, this ain't complicated. If you need to rest, fucking rest.

Oh wow! My crippling depression is cured! Why didn't I think of this before? Thank you so much!

Yes georgia, it ends when you marry mr successful and he pays for everything.

In Brazil, if you work more that 6hs a day, the company have to give you lunch. The majority of them, give you a pre paid debit card that can be used in restaurants. This mean that they are a lot of money there that can be used in restaurants, so any office building have lots of restaurants around.

From my union contract, I get 40R daily to lunch, and the restaurant I go they serve "prato feito" (beans, rice, salad, meat) for 25, and use the rest for some icecream or to eat something with my wife at weekends.

That's actually a very cool concept.

It's works close with transit costs too, the employee can opt in to pay up to 6% of its salary, then what is miss to cover all the transit costs is paid 50/50 by the employer and the government. For example, if I need to take a bus (5R) and a metro (5R), that sum to 20R daily in transit costs, 20R × 22 working days = 440 at month. Suppose a salary of 2000 * 6% = 120. The employee pay 120, the employer 160 and the government other 160. I'm fortunate to be in a position where I don't need that benefit anymore because I live in bike distance to the office, but it saved my ass when I had to take a bus to the metro station, a metro and then another bus every day.

Damn, didnt knew that brasil had such bonuses. I don't know how good your public transport is, but having this option is great.

Most of my lunches are leftovers, but many of them are things like a burger or a bratwurst that I can cook with little effort. Or I can buy something.

Imagine complaining about £4 for lunch, I'm lucky if I get out for under $20.

I interpreted it as a 4 pound tv dinner. But maybe I'm reading it wrong.

[Edit] Now I am doubting what even a meal deal is
