Never worked anywhere (consulting, banking now asset management) where people eat together. People purchase lunch together like twice a week, but talking while eating it means you are not being productive. A lot of people read research reports. I presume if you were a lawyer you should be doing doc review or something?

at my old place we had a big kitchen/break area, and just about everyone would eat there and chat, but never for more than 20 minutes or so. people rarely went out to lunch together.

if you're working at a place without that sort of break area, then i think eating at desk/going out alone or with 1-2 people is the norm.

Do you think you get away with a lot more because you're an attractive minority female? This is a serious question and you know I'm not an XO racist or white marginalization crybaby. I am sincerely asking. Do you think you have had this much flexibility and job transferability over the years if you weighed 225 lbs and were a butch-looking Janet Reno type?

I work in an organization where everyone is a minority, and a disproportionate number are attractive females.

I've lad lots of flexibility/job transferability because I've selected highly flexible work/work environments, and because I'm quite good at what I do. I'd be lying if I didn't think being attractive helped but it hasn't been the single biggest factor, IMO. The bigger factors have been lucking out into an industry with rapid growth/lots of opportunities for advancement, producing excellent work product, having a large network, etc.

I'm more interested in the simply "I work from home whenever" dynamic than you flitting around between jobs all the time. That's not nearly as uncommon as being in any kind of corporate supervisory role but essentially working from home whenever you feel you need to, absent some acknowledge serious disease acquired after you were hired.

I don't deal with this, but my firm has a pretty intense executive employment and compensation practice, and there really seems to be a disparity for attractive people. Statistics and research bear out that it affects pretty much everything else in the workplace, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising that this stuff is no different.

I work in a field where you needn't be in the office every day to produce good work -- or even manage staff. This has been my greatest stroke of good luck.

I've also worked in tech-savvy industries which are inherently more flexible and comfortable with remote work
