Thanks. I agree. It's just that sometimes the smell bothers the rest.
I think it's okay as long as it doesn’t become a habit. Sometimes it’s just easier to eat at your desk and keep working .
I personally prefer taking a break away from my desk for meals. It helps me rest and come back refreshed.
Hello, @salardavari allowing employees to eat meals behind their desks has pros and cons:
Yes:
- Flexibility: Employees can use their break times more efficiently and maintain productivity.
- Convenience: Helps in accommodating tight schedules and can be practical for busy or remote work environments.
No:
- Distraction: Eating at the desk might lead to spills or mess, potentially affecting work performance.
- Work-Life Balance: It might blur boundaries between work and personal time, leading to burnout.
Ultimately, the decision should consider company culture, employee preferences, and the nature of the work. Encouraging designated break areas might strike a balance between productivity and well-being.

That's purely sad, in my opinion.
I do both daily!
Personally, I think it’s okay for employees to eat at their desks if they need to catch up on work.
I believe it depends on the company culture and the nature of the work. In fast-paced environments, eating at desks might be necessary, but in more relaxed settings, having a separate eating area could foster better team bonding and creativity.
Eating at our desks just doesn’t sit well with me. It can blur the line between work and personal time, and I miss having a proper break away from my screen.

Depends on what is convenient for the employee and people around
If they are productive then let them do their thing haha. Work gets done & employees are happier which is a win win in my book!
